The US Department of Agriculture will use an AI tool it built to check the monthly crop production report due on 10 November, Under Secretary Scott Hutchins told Reuters on 6 November. Officials chose to use it after finding the tool would have flagged the errors in September’s corn data, which Lance Honig of the National Agricultural Statistics Service said came from a computer file that wrongly combined irrigated and non-irrigated corn acres. The tool adds to the agency’s existing data validation.

Why it matters

The 10 November crop production report, whose figures often move markets, is the first USDA report the tool checks after September’s corn corrections angered farmers.
