The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Farm Service Agency (FSA) plans to release crop subsidy and prevented plantings data for U.S. crops to Nov. 1 at 11 a.m. EST (1600 GMT), several hours later than expected, the agency said in a statement on Friday.
The agency releases updated acreage figures each month.
"Our apologies that the Crop Acreage Data was not ready for the prescribed 6 a.m. posting this morning," the statement said, offering no further explanation.
