Iowa is divided into agricultural statistics districts for convenience in compiling and presenting statistical information on

crops and livestock. These nine districts are outlined on the above map. The districts are designated as follows: Northwest

(NW), West Central (WC), Southwest (SW), North Central (NC), Central (C), South Central (SC), Northeast (NE), East

Central (EC), and Southeast (SE). In this bulletin, tables with statistical information by county have the counties grouped

alphabetically within each district. Totals and averages are shown for each district.

Following is an alphabetical list of counties showing the crop reporting district in which each county is located:

The USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, Iowa Field Office is pleased to collaborate with the Iowa Farm Bureau to provide you the latest edition of the Iowa Agricultural Statistics*. This statistical profile of Iowa’s agriculture not only includes state level information but also includes information for every Iowa county. Enclosed you will find many interesting statistics about Iowa’s vibrant and dynamic agricultural industry. I would like to highlight the fact that in the 2008 ranking of states, Iowa ranked number one in:

Corn Production

Soybean Production

Hogs & Pigs inventory & value

Commercial hog slaughter

Egg production

Capacity of on-farm grain storage

Capacity of commercial grain facilities

Harvested acreage of principal crops

Value of Field and Miscellaneous crops

Iowa is ranked number two in:

Principal crops total value

Sows that farrowed

Pig crop inventory

Red meat production Only with the support of the entire agricultural industry is the publication and dissemination of agricultural statistics possible. I want to thank the Iowa farmers who completed their questionnaires on inventories and production, the buyers and processors who graciously provided data on their inventories and purchases, as well as all those who supplied analyses that made the Iowa Agricultural Statistics possible. It is only with your assistance that NASS is able to complete its mission of providing timely, accurate, and useful statistics in service to U.S. agriculture.

Thank you for your support and interest in Iowa agriculture. The Iowa Field Office staff is dedicated to meeting the agricultural data needs of all users. Please contact us anytime with your questions, comments, and requests for information.

2008 Iowa Crop Summary The 2008 crop season began with cold, wet weather conditions in April. The wet fields slowed progress significantly, leaving only 3.2 total days suitable for fieldwork during the month. By the end of April, corn planting was just starting, and only 28 percent of the oats had been planted. Both crops well behind their 5 year averages. Soil remained wet throughout May, but farmers took advantage of a few windows for planting oats, corn, and soybeans. The first week of May proved to be very wet on the eastern two-thirds of the state. However, the western third of the state managed to plant over 30 percent of their corn during the week. A few breaks in rain during the second and third week of May allowed for the rest of the state to make progress with their planting. At the end of May, 81 percent of soybeans had been planted and nearly 60 percent had emerged. Corn planting was 97 percent finished and 77 percent had emerged. By the end of May 94 percent of oats had emerged and the first cutting of alfalfa was 8 percent complete. The first week of June brought severe storms across Iowa. Some areas received more than 8 inches of rain during the week. Standing water was evident throughout fields in the state and flooding near rivers became a major concern. Seventy-four percent of the state had a surplus topsoil moisture level. The second week in June continued the pattern of severe weather. Yellowing and stunting was occurring in the corn crop and soybeans were showing some signs of seedling disease. In addition, much of the alfalfa first cutting was being abandoned because farmers were unable to get at the wet fields. At the end of the second week in June, 15 percent of the corn and soybean crop was in either poor or very poor condition. The third and fourth weeks of June began the recovery stage for crops in Iowa. Dryer conditions allowed soil moisture to move away from surplus levels and crops to develop. Also, farmers were able to replant their flooded crops. Eleven percent of the corn crop and 12 percent of the soybean crop had to be replanted during the month. By June’s end, the corn stand was at 84 percent, with 100 percent being normal. Oats were 68 percent headed and just starting to turn color. Soybeans were 92 percent emerged. Alfalfa first harvest was 83 percent complete. Weather in July varied significantly across the state. The northern districts were relatively dry and experienced rapid crop maturation. Whereas the southern districts experienced periods of heavy rain and hail. By the end of the month, northern districts

average topsoil moisture was rated 14 percent surplus. Southern and central districts topsoil moisture was rated 42 percent surplus. Many corn and soybean fields were experiencing uneven maturation problems. By month’s end corn was 67 percent tasseled and 45 percent silked, far behind the five-year average. Soybeans were 67 percent bloomed and 26 percent were setting pods. Oat harvest was beginning and the second alfalfa crop was just over half harvested. Spraying for aphids moved into full swing during August. Most of Iowa experienced drier weather during August. The southwest district was the driest area, rating their topsoil moisture at 36 percent very short. Soybeans were just starting to turn color across the state and one-third of the state’s corn was in or past the dent stage. In addition, the third crop of alfalfa was 50 percent complete. August had over 25 days suitable for fieldwork and proved to be a productive month for farmers. Early September brought colder nightly temperatures which slowed crop maturation. However, by the third week of September, warmer weather returned, and most field crops made significant progress. Soybean harvest was just beginning, primarily in the northern districts. By months end, 8 percent of the soybean crop was harvested across the state. Corn that was mature and safe from frost was rated at 45 percent, well below the five-year average of 85 percent. Also, some farmers were able to get a fourth cutting off of their alfalfa fields later in the month. The first two weeks of October allowed farmers to make significant progress harvesting their soybean crop. However, rain fell across the state during the third and fourth weeks which slowed harvest. By the end of October, 87 percent of the soybean crop had been harvested but only 20 percent of the corn crop had been harvested. Twenty-eight percent of the state reported having a surplus amount of topsoil moisture the last week of October. As November began, harvest was still in full swing. By the second week, soybean harvest was wrapping up across Iowa. Freezing temperatures allowed equipment back into the fields during the third and fourth weeks of November. By the end of November, 94 percent of the corn crop was harvested and 43 percent of the fertilizer application had been completed.

Biotechnology Varieties, Iowa and U.S.

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service conducts the June Agricultural Survey each year. Randomly selected farmers across Iowa are asked if they planted corn or soybean seeds that, through biotechnology, are resistant to herbicides, insects, or both. Conventionally bred herbicide resistant varieties were excluded. Insect resistant varieties include only those containing bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). Stacked gene varieties include those containing biotech traits for both herbicide and insect resistance.
