In the realm of American agriculture, understanding the economic health of different counties is crucial for farmers, policymakers, and investors alike. The latest report from Farm Futures delves deep into the financial performance of over 3,000 counties across the United States, offering insights into where farming is thriving and where challenges persist.

Farm Futures’ methodology combines data from the 2022 U.S. Ag Census with proprietary metrics to rank counties based on key financial indicators such as return on assets, profit margins, and asset turnover. These rankings not only highlight the current economic landscape but also provide a historical perspective, comparing trends from previous agricultural censuses.

The findings reveal a dynamic picture influenced by factors ranging from commodity prices and weather patterns to local economic conditions and agricultural practices. For instance, the impact of record grain prices in certain regions boosted profitability during specific years, while other areas faced challenges from adverse weather or market surpluses.

In 2022, the Southeast saw resilience in its poultry sector, demonstrating the sector’s ability to stabilize regional agricultural incomes amid broader economic shifts. These insights underscore the importance of diversification and adaptation in modern farming practices.

For farmers and stakeholders, understanding where their county ranks can inform strategic decisions regarding crop selection, investment in technology, and risk management strategies. The interactive map provided by Farm Futures allows users to explore detailed county-level data, offering a comprehensive view of agricultural financial performance across the nation.
