Highlights
May 2021 contained 31 days.
June 2021 contained 30 days.
Soybeans crushed for crude oil was 4.85 million tons (162 million bushels) in
June 2021, compared with
5.21 million tons (174 million bushels) in May 2021 and 5.32 million tons
(177 million bushels) in June 2020. Crude oil produced was 1.91 billion
pounds down 7 percent from May 2021 and down 6 percent from June 2020.
Soybean once refined oil production at 1.60 billion pounds during June 2021
decreased 7 percent from May 2021 but increased 2 percent from June 2020.
Canola seeds crushed for crude oil was 161,302 tons in June 2021, compared
with 159,120 tons in May 2021 and 123,242 tons in June 2020. Canola crude oil produced was 133
million pounds, down 1 percent from May 2021 but up 26 percent from June
2020. Canola once refined oil production, at 154 million pounds during June
2021, was up 4 percent from May 2021 and up 33 percent from June 2020.
Cottonseed once refined oil production, at 39.9 million pounds during June
2021, was up less than 1 percent from May 2021 but down less than 1 percent from June 2020.
Edible tallow production was 89.6 million pounds during June 2021, down
13 percent from May 2021 but up 17 percent from June 2020. Inedible tallow
production was 306 million pounds during June 2021,
down 10 percent from May 2021 and down 6 percent from June 2020. Technical
tallow production was 94.0 million pounds during June 2021, down 21 percent
from May 2021 and down 15 percent from June 2020. Choice white grease
production, at 88.6 million pounds during June 2021, decreased 3 percent from
May 2021 and decreased 23 percent from June 2020.

Statistical Methodology
Survey Procedures: Fats and Oils: Oilseed Crushings, Production, Consumption
and Stocks is part of the Current Agricultural Industrial Reports (CAIR)
program. CAIR reports are administered under NASS's Census of Agriculture
program. Response to CAIR surveys are required by law (Title 7, U.S. Code).
Animal and vegetable fats and oils data are collected from all known
facilities that crush, refine or render. Crushing facilities include
processors that use either solvent extraction or continuous screw press.
The census universe was determined during operation profile interviews which
were completed for each potential facility to identify the presence of
rendering, oilseeds crushing, and crude oil refining in 2014.
In the Animal and Vegetable Fats and Oils survey questionnaire, facilities
are asked for previous calendar month data on oilseed crushing, crude oil
production, once refined oil production, rendering production, and end of
month stocks. Facilities are mailed questionnaires with the options of
completing the survey by mail or by Electronic Data Reporting (EDR). For
surveys not received in a reasonable amount of time, telephone follow-up is
conducted.
Estimating Procedures: Imputation is done for operations with non-response by
using historical data and current data relationships. Data for reporting
firms are added to estimates for non-reporting firms to obtain National
totals.
Revision Policy: Data are revised the following month based on late reports
or corrected data. Final figures are published in the annual summary of the
following year.
Reliability: Survey data are based on a census of all known facilities and
therefore, have no sampling variability. Monthly data can vary due to
different firms reporting month to month. Survey data are also subject to
non-sampling errors such as omissions and mistakes in reporting and in
processing the data. While these errors cannot be measured directly, they are
minimized by carefully reviewing all reported data for consistency and
reasonableness.
