First barley production report from the 2024 crop
The USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) released their July 12, 2024 Crop Production Report. Much of the data is based on initial estimates and forecasts and does not report all barley production states. Individual state level estimates will be published in the Small Grains 2024 Summary.
Production is forecast at 150 million bushels, down 19 percent from 2023. Based on conditions as of July 1, the average yield for the United States is forecast at 74.2 bushels per acre, up 1.8 bushels from last year. Area harvested for grain is forecast at 2.02 million acres, is unchanged from the Acreage report released on June 28, 2024, but down 21 percent from last year.
Fifty-six percent of the Nation’s barley acreage had reached the headed stage by July 7, equal to last year but 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average. On July 7, seventy percent of the Nation’s barley acreage was rated in good to excellent condition, 18 percentage points above the same time last year.
