Farm Income provides
farm income forecasts, updated regularly, and farm income
estimates, released once a year. Forecasts are developed
using an economic accounting model that generates forecasts
of value-added and farm income, plus component accounts
of cash receipts and production expenditures, for the
national farm sector. Estimates are derived from survey
data gathered by USDA's National Agricultural Statistics
Service and other national institutions over the course
of the year.
Farm Balance Sheet
accounts include assets, debt, and equity, where equity
equals assets minus debt, and are used to assess wealth
in the farm sector. Both operators' and landlords' shares
of the assets and debt for the farming operation are included.
The financial ratios presented provide useful indicators
of the farm sector's financial performance.
Commodity Costs and
Returns have been estimated for major field crop and
livestock enterprises each year since 1975. Cost and return
estimates are reported for the United States and major
production regions for corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton,
grain sorghum, rice, peanuts, oats, barley, sugar beets,
tobacco, milk, hogs, and cow-calf. These cost and return
accounts are "historical" accounts based on the actual
costs incurred by producers during each year.
