# USDA AI Tool to Check Crop Report After Errors

> The USDA plans to use an in-house AI anomaly checker on its November 10 crop production report, adding a review step after an error in September corn data. The agency said the tool would have flagged the earlier mistake, which involved combining irrigated and non-irrigated corn acreage data and led to revisions in Nebraska and Kansas estimates.
