The USDA has released the results of the 2022 Census of Agriculture and it shows a continued decrease in the number of U.S. farming operations.
“I’m concerned about the state of agriculture and food production in this country,” Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack said Tuesday.
Vilsack says the decline is significant. “In 2017 when we did this survey, there were 2,042,220 farms,” he said. “Today, the survey reports we have 1.9 million farms.
