Report Provides Overview of Farms Operated by Socially Disadvantaged, Women, and Limited Resource Farmers

USDA Economic Research Service has published An Overview of Farms Operated by Socially Disadvantaged, Women, and Limited Resource Farmers and Ranchers in the United States. The report utilizes data from the 2017-20 annual Agricultural Resource Management Survey to provides an overview of the financial characteristics of the farms operated by socially disadvantaged (individuals identifying as Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Hispanic or Latino, and Asian or Pacific Islander), women, and limited resource producers (farms with low sales and low household income). The report highlights differences between these operations and higher-resource, men-only, and non-Hispanic white farms. The entire 78-page report and a two-page summary are both available online.
