The average farm size for 2019 is 444 acres, up 1 acrefrom the previous year.Farm numbers and land in farms are differentiated by six economic sales classes. Farms and ranches are classified intothese six sales classes by summing the sales of agricultural products and government program payments. Sales classbreaks occur at 10,000, 100,000, 250,000, 500,000, and 1,000,000. Producers were asked during the 2019 mid-yearsurveys to report the value of sales based on production during the 2018 calendar year.Point Farms are farms that did not have the required minimum 1,000 in sales for the year to qualify as a farm, but hadsufficient crops and livestock to normally have sales of 1,000 or more. Point Farms are assigned a sales class based onthe sum of the agricultural point (dollar) values assigned to the quantity of commodities produced but not sold. The2017 Census of Agriculture showed that 471,593 farms or 23.1 percent of the 2,042,220 farms were Point Farms.

The number of farms in the 100,000 - 249,999 and 250,000 499,999 sales classes increased while all other sales classes declined. In 2019, 51.1 percent of all farms had less than 10,000 in sales and 81.5 percent of all farms had less than 100,000 in sales. In 2019, 7.4 percent of all farms had salesof 500,000 or more.Land in farms, at 897,400,000 acres, is down 2,100,000 acres from 2018. The biggest change for 2019 is that producersin Sales Class 100,000 - 249,999 operated 1,170,000 fewer acres than in 2018. In 2019, 30.2 percent of all farmlandwas operated by farms with less than 100,000 in sales, while 40.8 percent of all farmland was operated by farms withsales of 500,000 or more.The average farm size continued to increase in 2019 as the number of farms declined. The overall average size increasedby 1 acre to 444 acres per farm.
