Historic
Data on Farm Operator Household Income—Operator
household income data from 1960 forward.
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, (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.
