Ngokwengxelo yamva nje yokutyala elindelweyo ekhutshwe yi-National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) yeSebe lezoLimo lase-US, izicwangciso zokutyala zabalimi base-US zowama-2024 ziya kubonisa umkhwa "wokunqongophala kombona kunye neembotyi zesoya ezininzi."
Abalimi abaphandwe kulo lonke elaseMelika baceba ukutyala iihektare ezingama-90 ezigidi zombona ngo-2024, zihle nge-5% ukusuka kunyaka ophelileyo, ngokutsho kwengxelo. Iinjongo zokutyala umbona kulindeleke ukuba zehle okanye zingatshintshi kumazwe angama-38 kwangama-48 akhula. I-Illinois, i-Indiana, i-Iowa, i-Minnesota, i-Missouri, i-Ohio, i-South Dakota kunye ne-Texas ziya kubona ukwehla kweehektare ezingaphezu kwama-300,000.
Ngokwahlukileyo koko, i-acre yesoya inyukile. Abalimi baceba ukutyala ii-acre ezingama-86.5 ezigidi zeesoya ngo-2024, ukunyuka nge-3% ukusuka kunyaka ophelileyo. I-acre yesoya e-Arkansas, e-Illinois, e-Indiana, e-Iowa, eKentucky, e-Louisiana, e-Michigan, e-Minnesota, e-North Dakota, e-Ohio nase-South Dakota kulindeleke ukuba inyuke ngee-acre ezili-100,000 nangaphezulu ukusuka kunyaka ophelileyo, apho iKentucky ne-New York zibeka amanqanaba aphezulu angaphezulu.
Ukongeza kwingqolowa kunye neembotyi zesoya, ingxelo iqikelela ukuba i-acre yengqolowa iyonke ingama-47.5 ezigidi zeehektare ngo-2024, ihle nge-4% ukusuka ngo-2023. Iihektare ezingama-34.1 ezigidi zeehektare zengqolowa yasebusika, ihle nge-7% ukusuka ngo-2023; Ezinye iihektare zentwasahlobo zi-11.3 ezigidi zeehektare, inyuke nge-1%; Ingqolowa yeDurum zi-2.03 ezigidi zeehektare, inyuke nge-22%; Umqhaphu zi-10.7 ezigidi zeehektare, inyuke nge-4%.
Okwangoku, ingxelo yekota yesitokhwe sengqolowa se-NASS ibonise ukuba isitokhwe sombona sisonke sase-US simi kwi-8.35 yeebhiliyoni zeebhashel ukusukela nge-1 kaMatshi, sinyuke nge-13% ukusuka kunyaka ophelileyo. Isitokhwe seembotyi zesoya siphelele sasiyi-1.85 yeebhiliyoni zeebhashel, sinyuke nge-9%; Isitokhwe sengqolowa sisonke sasiyi-1.09 yeebhiliyoni zeebhashel, sinyuke nge-16%; Isitokhwe sengqolowa saseDurum siphelele sasiyi-36.6 yezigidi zeebhashel, sinyuke nge-2%.
