County-level estimates for 2021 small grain acreage, yield and production are now available, according to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. The estimates, based primarily on surveys conducted with farmers and ranchers last fall, can be accessed using the Quick Stats online database.

County-level small grain estimates are not published if any of the following conditions exist:

• Estimated harvested acres are less than 100.
• Insufficient number of producer reports were received to establish statistically defensible estimates.
• Estimate would not guarantee confidentiality of reported data from an individual producer. 

The commodity estimates released today include winter wheat and oats.
