Abstract

About 1.8 million farms operated 1 billion acres of land in the contiguous United States in 1990, according to the Farm Costs and Returns Survey (FCRS) from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The average acreage operated was 588 acres per reporting farm, and gross farm sales averaged $63,200. Gross cash farm income totaled $121.4 billion in 1990, with 48 percent from livestock and poultry sales, 41 percent from crop sales, 5 percent from government payments, and 6 percent from other farm-related income. This report introduces a new reporting format that will provide annual data on the major structural and financial characteristics of the farm sector as portrayed by the FCRS. Annual farm structural data are not available from any other national data source.
