Update of 2024 and 2025 RAP production data

September 28, 2026

We recently discovered a data processing error that affected the RAP production data for years 2024, 2025, and the 2026 provisional data. The error varied by geography, but in general, RAP production overestimated annual forb and grass production and underestimated perennial forb and grass production. The error has been corrected and we have released new data for years 2024, 2025, as well as the 2026 provisional data.

The figures below show the absolute and relative change resulting from the correction for years 2024 and 2025. Change is calculated as incorrect values minus corrected values.

The following assets were replaced with their corrected versions:
