Smallest U.S. Canola Criop Since 2013
WASHINGTON - Oct 12/21 - SNS -- Canola production in the United States is expected to reach 2.35 billion pounds, down 32% from the 2020 revised production of 3.45 billion pounds, according to the latest USDA production estimates for 2021.
Area planted for the Nation, at a record high 2.15 million acres, is up 7% from the June estimate and up 18% from last year's area. Canola farmers expect to harvest a record high 2.10 million acres, up 8% from June and up 18% from 2020.
Acreage updates were made in several States based on a thorough review of all available data. The October yield forecast, at 1,119 pounds per acre, is 812 pounds below last year's yield and will represent the lowest average yield on record for the Nation, if realized.
Compared with last year, yields are forecast to be down more than 700 pounds per acre in 4 of the 6 major canola-producing States. In contrast, the yield forecast in Oklahoma will be the highest on record since the published data series began in that State, if realized.
