Farm Household Income and Characteristics

This data product presents the latest household income forecast and estimates for U.S. family farms. The forecast was updated February 11, 2013. For a discussion of the current conditions and trends in farm household income, see the Farm Household Well-being topic.

Note: Table 1 was updated on March 7, 2013 to correct a misreported farm household income forecast for 2012 ($57,723 instead of $57,378) and to add missing labels indicating which rows represent medians and which rows represent means.
