Organic
Production—Organic farming has been one of the
fastest growing segments of U.S. agriculture for over
a decade and all 50 States in the U.S. have some certified
organic farmland. ERS collected data from USDA-accredited
State and private certification groups to calculate the
extent of certified organic farmland acreage and livestock
in the United States. Data are presented at both the
national and State levels for over 40 commodities. Data
updated in March 2010 include the number of certified
operations, as well as certified acreage and livestock, by State and by commodity,
for 2006-08.
Major Land Uses—This
data series contains estimates for major land uses in the
United States, by State, for 1945-2002. The series is the
only consistent historical accounting of major land uses,
public and private, in all 50 States.
