Farm Income: Data Files

U.S. and State Farm Income and Wealth Statistics

These are the latest data concerning the farm income forecast, national and State net value added, net cash income, cash receipts, government payments, the balance sheet, production expenses, capital replacement costs, number of farms, land in farms, and real estate values.

Data are updated three times a year as new information becomes available. The February release provides the first forecast for the current year and a revision of the prior year's forecast. The August release converts the prior year's farm income and balance sheet forecasts to estimates, adds farm income State-level estimates, and updates the current year’s forecast. The November release revises the current year's forecast.

The following data are as of February 13, 2012. The next release will be August 28, 2012.

Note: ERS doesn't report data at the county level. The primary source of county data is the Census of Agriculture, conducted every 5 years by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS).
