Data from USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service. Production in bushels, bales, or tons depending on crop.

The this entity record above pulls directly from the USDA NASS Quick Stats database. What follows is the per-entity context — how this entity sits in the broader U.S. crop production, acreage, and farm income distribution and which underlying factors drive the headline numbers.

The methodology behind every numeric value on this page is publicly documented on the the USDA NASS Quick Stats database portal and described in detail on this site’s methodology page. Refresh cadence varies by underlying series; the page surfaces the as-of date for each number so readers can trace any figure back to the source release.

For readers using this page as a decision input, the related-entity pages elsewhere on the site provide the comparison set. The most useful comparison for this entity is typically a peer within U.S. crops and states with similar size, similar exposure, or similar geography — not the national-level summary alone.
