WASHINGTON - Oct 10/19 - SNS -- Canola production in the United States is expected to reach 3.71 billion pounds, up 3% from the 2018 revised production of 3.62 billion pounds, according to the USDA's latest crop production estimates.
If realized, this will be the largest production on record for the United States. Area planted, at 2.04 million acres, is up 1% from the June estimate and up 2% from last year's area. Canola farmers expect to harvest 1.99 million acres, up less than 1% from June and up 3% from 2018.
Acreage updates were made in several States based on a thorough review of all available data. Both planted and the harvested area forecast for the Nation will be the second largest on record.
The October yield forecast, at 1,860 pounds per acre, is 1 pound below last year's record high yield. If realized, the yield forecast in Minnesota will be the highest on record since the published data series began in that State.
The yield in North Dakota, the largest canola-producing State, is forecast at 1,900 pounds per acre, down 60 pounds from last year's yield. Planted area in North Dakota is estimated at a record high 1.70 million acres, up 7% from last year.
