Prior to the Aug. 12 Crop Production report, and in response to variable weather conditions in key crop-growing regions, the National Agricultural Statistics Service is collecting updated information on 2009 acres planted to corn and sorghum. This is being done to ensure that the August forecasts accurately reflect any changes in planted acreage since June.
The agency will ask growers to update their reported acres planted to corn in seven states: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Growers in Illinois and Missouri will also be asked to update their reported acres planted to sorghum.
