About CropReview
How is your state’s farm economy doing?
What we do
CropReview turns USDA agricultural statistics into state-level portraits of what grows where and how farm income is trending.
We focus on U.S. crop production, acreage, and farm income. Every page on cropreview.org is built from the USDA NASS QuickStats API, cited and linkable so readers can trace any number back to its source.
Who this is for
CropReview is built for farmers, agribusiness analysts, rural reporters, and agricultural researchers.
Why this exists
Public data on U.S. crop production, acreage, and farm income is technically free, but practically locked behind file formats, acronyms, and paywalled dashboards. CropReviewexists to close that gap: take the raw federal and public-sector data, and turn it into pages a normal person can read in thirty seconds.
How we work
- Primary source only. We pull from the USDA NASS QuickStats API and cite the exact dataset and version on every page.
- No invented numbers. If a figure is not in the underlying public data, it does not appear on cropreview.org. We never generate synthetic statistics to fill gaps.
- Refreshed on a schedule. Data is refetched on a published cadence — you can see the "Last updated" date on every dataset page.
- Corrections welcome. Readers flag issues all the time. When the source fixes a record, CropReview follows.
Independence
CropReview is an independent publication. We are not funded, owned, or directed by any of the agencies, companies, or organizations that appear in our data. Hosting is paid for by advertising — see our Privacy Policy for details — and we do not take paid placements, sponsored rankings, or "remove-my-entry" fees.
History
CropReview launched in 2026 as part of a small portfolio of independent public-data sites. It has been maintained and updated continuously since.
