2010 Number of Farms and Land in Farms HighlightsThe number of farms in the United States in 2010 is estimated at 2.2 million, virtually unchanged from 2009. Totalland in farms, at 920.0 million acres, increased 100 thousand acres from 2009. The average farm size is 418 acres,unchanged from the previous year.Farm numbers and land in farms are broken down into five economic sales classes. Farms and ranches are classified intothese “sales classes” by summing their sales of agricultural products and government program payments. Sales classbreaks occur at 10,000, 100,000, 250,000, and 500,000.Farm numbers increased slightly in the 1,000- 9,999 and 500,000 and over sales classes. Higher commodity pricesand larger value of sales contributed to changes in the number of farms within these sales classes. Farm numbersincreased 0.1 percent, to 1.23 million farms, in the 1,000 - 9,999 sales class. Meanwhile, the number of farms in the 500,000 and over sales class increased by 1.6 percent, to 126,720 farms.Land in farms increased in the largest sales class while decreasing in all other sales classes. Land operated by farms inthe 500,000 & over sales class increased 3.0 percent, to 298.9 million acres. Land operated by farms with 1,000- 9,999in sales decreased by 0.6 percent, to 105.0 million acres.The average farm size was unchanged in 2010. However, average farm sizes declined in some of the sales classespartially due to smaller farms moving up to higher sales classes.This report also contains estimates of farm numbers and land in farms for Puerto Rico. The number of farms with sales of 1,000 or more in Puerto Rico was 10,400 in 2010, unchanged from 2009. Land in farms, at 450,000 acres, is unchangedfrom the previous year. The average farm size in Puerto Rico in 2010 was estimated at 43 acres.Farms, Land in Farms, and Livestock Operations 2010 Summary (February 2011)USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service5
2010 Livestock Operations HighlightsThe number of operations with cattle totaled 935,000 for 2010, down 1 percent from 2009. Beef cow operations in2010, at 742,000, were also down 1 percent from last year. The number of milk cow operations for 2010 totaled 62,500,down 4 percent from 2009.The three operation classes: cattle, beef cows, and milk cows, are classified into size groups independently. Therefore, itis possible to have more beef cow operations in a particular size group than cattle operations. As an example, an operatorwith 75 cattle and 40 beef cows would be classified in the 50-99 size group for cattle and 1-49 size group for beef cows.The number of operations with hogs totaled 69,100 for 2010, down 3 percent from 2009. Places with 2,000 or morehead accounted for 86 percent of the inventory.The number of operations with sheep totaled 81,000 for 2010, down 1 percent from 2009. Of all sheep operations thatinclude breeding sheep, 93.8 percent were comprised of 1-99 head, 5.1 percent had 100-499 head, and the remaining 1.1percent were operations with 500 head or more. Operations with 1-99 head account for 35.8 percent of the inventory, 100499 head account for 20.1 percent of the inventory, and 500 head account for 44.1 percent of the inventory.The number of operations with goats totaled 152,000 for 2010, unchanged from a year earlier. Angora goat operationstotaled 6,000, up 9 percent from 2009. Milk goat operations totaled 31,000, up 3 percent from 2009. Meat goat operationstotaled 128,000, down 2 percent from a year earlier. Total goat operations will be equal to or less than the sum of angora,milk and meat goat operations since places which own more than one goat type count as only one operation.6Farms, Land in Farms, and Livestock Operations 2010 Summary (February 2011)USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
