Farm Business and Household Survey Data: Customized Data Summaries from ARMS

Contents
 

Featured States

Overview

Starting in 2003, ARMS had expanded sampling at the State-level for 15 major agricultural States (Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin).

A core set of questions was collected by both enumerators and with self-administered questionnaires. This supplements information elsewhere in this tool to provide a statistical portrait of the financial status and performance of a State's farm operators, their households, and farm businesses. For the 15 States, it provides statistically reliable financial statements (income statement, balance sheet, and financial ratios) and structural characteristics (such as the number, age, and years of schooling of farm operators) for farm operator businesses and households.

Summaries can be categorized by farm typology, size of operation as measured by sales, age of operator, and type of farm business as measured by the primary commodities produced by the operator.
