USDA NASS QuickStats crop production, acreage, yield, and farm cash-receipt series by state and commodity
Harlan Vance leads how CropReview reads and presents USDA NASS QuickStats agricultural data. The role decides which commodity, acreage, yield, and cash-receipt series each crop and state page uses, documents the methodology, and triages corrections — including how planted-versus-harvested gaps and in-season estimate revisions are shown. Production, acreage, yield, and farm-income figures are drafted with AI assistance and editorially reviewed against the underlying NASS releases, with every value linked back to its originating NASS report.
