# USDA Deploys AI to Catch Crop Data Errors Ahead of Nov. 10 Report

> USDA is using an AI tool to cross-check figures in its November 10 crop report following a September corn-data correction involving Kansas and Nebraska yield estimates. The department says the tool is an additional check, while the September errors drew criticism from farm groups.
