USDA to collect 2022 crop production and stocks data
As the 2022 growing season comes to an end, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) will contact producers nationwide to gather final year-end crop production numbers and the amount of grain and oilseeds stored on their farms. At the same time, NASS will survey grain facility operators to determine year-end off-farm grain and oilseed stocks. Responses to the survey will be used in calculating county-level yields, which have a direct impact on farmers. USDA’s Farm Service Agency may use the data in administering producer programs and in determining disaster assistance program calculations. All responses are completely confidential. Survey results will be published in several reports, including the
Crop Production Annual Summary
and the quarterly
Grain Stocks
report, both to be released on January 12. These and all NASS reports are available online at
www.nass.usda.gov
.
Markets
Nearby NuSun and high oleic prices at the crush plants are unchanged this week. Overall, NuSun and high oleic prices continue to trade 70 to 80 cents per cwt. lower than the 60-day moving average at the ND crush plants. 2023 new crop was unchanged to up 30 cents. Last week the so-called Black Sea Grain Initiative allowing exports of Ukrainian grain from the Black Sea was extended for 120 days. This pressured wheat, corn and soybean prices allowing traders breathing room to take away some of the price premium built into nearby contracts. Sunflower harvest is getting closer to the finish line for this season. Recent snow events have slowed harvest in the past week. Despite the weather, sunflower producers did make good harvest progress. Harvest progress advanced 3% to 95% complete for the week ending November 20. In the past week, producers harvested an additional 55,795 acres pushing 2022 harvested acres to about 1,471,190 acres. Last year at this same time about 89% of acres were harvested. Harvest progress remains 17% ahead of the five-year average. Crop quality remains very good, and yields have been above expectations in most cases. With the Black Sea grain corridor agreement extension in place, upcoming crop progress and weather conditions in South America will be a more important market feature. Traders are expecting a record breaking Brazilian soybean crop which is nearly finished being planted.

Grower Report
Hutchinson, Kansas grower Cameron Peirce has finished harvesting his 1000 acres of sunflower. He says they were not good. The terrible drought conditions along with the hailstorm that they received on September 20
th
was devastating to his sunflower. He experienced yields of 900-1200 lbs. for his full season sunflower and 500-1000 lbs. for his double crop sunflower. His test weights were 29-30 lbs. with a moisture level under 10%.
