2007 Census Of Agriculture
According to this 2007 census (conducted every five years), the total number of farms has increased recently, going from 2.13 million in 2002 to 2.21 million farms in 2007. Compared with all farms nationwide, these new farms tend to be more diverse with fewer acres, lower sales, and younger operators who also work off the farm. This census also provides agricultural statistics for every U.S. county and state.
