Only 1500 Farms have Revenues Greater than 5 Million in the United...

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c35677) has announced the addition of Agriculture Crop Production - Industry Profile to their offering.



Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:

The US agriculture sector includes 1 million crop farms covering 300 million acres, with combined annual revenue of $100 billion. The industry includes a few large growers such as Dole Food, but the vast majority of farms are privately owned with annual revenue under $250,000. About 12,000 farms have annual revenue over $1 million, of which only 1,500 have revenue of $5 million or more.



Demand for crops depends on the growth of the US population and the condition of export markets. Crop yield is a significant factor in profitability. Small farms can compete effectively if they produce a specialty crop or are located near a favorable market. Large economies of scale can occur, depending on the type of crop. Large farms with annual revenue over $1 million produce over 40 percent of total industry revenue. Many small farms remain in operation only because their owners have additional sources of income.



Major crops are corn (about $19 billion annually); soybeans ($16 billion); and fruits and nuts ($13 billion); followed by vegetables, wheat, and cotton. Most farmers concentrate on one or a few crops, depending on local soil, weather, and water conditions. Although quality can vary significantly, most crops are considered commodities.
