Background & analysis
USDA officials decided to start using an AI tool to check crop production data in the report due November 10, after discovering errors in the department's September corn data, USDA Under Secretary Scott Hutchins said in an interview. The tool would have flagged the problem at the time, and the department is using it in an effort to improve the accuracy of its agricultural statistics. The change takes effect with the report scheduled for release on November 10; until then, no AI-assisted checking has been applied to monthly crop production releases.
