Abstract

We introduce new methods and data sources to generate comprehensive state‐level estimates of inputs, outputs, and total factor productivity for each of the 48 contiguous US states from 1960 to 2015. Results show that total factor productivity is the primary driver of farm output growth during the study period. However, the average annual productivity growth rates exhibit significant variation among states, ranging from 0.23% (New Mexico) to 1.95% (Ohio). While the average annual productivity growth rate has decelerated for most states over the past two decades, our test results do not indicate a consistent productivity slowdown across 10 production regions.
