USDA just released their 2022 Ag Census.
(last was 2017)

It's 757 pages long... so I've barely scratched the surface.

But, found these producer stats interesting:

→ 1.9 million farms
→ 880.1 million acres
→ 3.37 million producers

Producers By Age:

→ 300 thousand younger than 35 (↑3.9%)
→ 1.78 million age 35-64 (↓9%)
→ 1.29 million age 65+ (↑12.1%)

30% of all producers have been farming for 10 years or less.

62% worked "off-farm" either part-time or full-time

Finally, 42% of producers said their primary occupation was farming, and 58% said farming was a secondary occupation.

I did find USDA's definition of "Producer":

The term producer designates a person who is involved with making decisions for the farm operation... The producer may be the owner, a member of the owner’s household, a hired manager, a tenant, a renter, or a sharecropper.

It's on page 706 if you're curious.

Y’all cannot possibly be that pressed that @TTChilders supports LGBTQ+ rights right? Like it’s literally 2023. Grow up.

@bl_ag_inc Co-ops have a life cycle. They are created with good intentions and they work for a period until they become the thing they were meant to fight against and then new co-ops are created to go against the old ones. The process repeats.

Soapbox:
QUIT OVERPRICING YOUR SHITTY HAY.
I realize that it costs more to produce now and therefore should go up but I should not be finding all sorts of cornstalks, weeds, and now pieces of fucking metal in the most expensive hay I’ve ever bought.

At least I’m independent

Wow, we have to “… end our dependance on farming”. There have always been extreme opinions out there, but now there are massive main stream outlets tooting them,
