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.
Every number on this page links back to the USDA NASS Quick Stats database; the methodology page describes the inputs, refresh cadence, and known limitations of the underlying data product.
Practical use of this page is in combination with the comparison and ranking pages elsewhere on the site, which surface the same data for this entity’s peers within U.S. crops and states. A single-entity reading without peer context can be misleading when an entity is an outlier on one axis but typical on another.
