Note: Farm businesses are defined as farms with gross cash farm income over $350,000 in 2018 dollars, or farms where the principal operator lists farming as the primary occupation. Household income is estimated only for households operating family farms. Changes to U.S. median income among households with self-employment income from 2016 and forward reflect changes in data collection and processing of the March supplement of the Current Population Survey as well as changes in actual household income. Source: USDA, Economic Research Service and National Agricultural Statistics Service, Agricultural Resource Management Survey, and U.S. Census Bureau, Current Population Survey. Values are adjusted for inflation using the chain-type GDP deflator, 2018=100. Data as of November 27, 2019.
