| f = forecast. |
| 1/ The farm level forecasts are derived from partial budget modeling on the 2010 ARMS using parameters from the sector forecasts. The model is static and therefore does not account for changes in crop rotation, weather, and other local production impacts that occurred after the base year. |
| 2/ Commercial and intermediate farms; including non-family farms. |
| 3/ Excludes farms run by hired managers and operations organized as cooperatives, non-family corporations, estates, and trusts. |
