As of 2024, Arizona was the top U.S. state when it came to the yield of wheat per harvested acre, at 109 bushels. This is over ten more bushels per acre than the second and third leading states, Indiana and Delaware. Wheat cultivation and production in the U.S. Although Arizona led the yield per harvested acre in 2023, the state did not have a great deal of planted nor harvested area of wheat that year. Kansas and North Dakota were the top two states in both categories. That year, Kansas planted about 8.1 million acres of wheat and harvested 5.8 million acres of it. Overall, about 1.81 million bushels of wheat were produced that year in the United States. Uses of wheat Wheat can be utilized for food, feed, fuel, or other purposes. Other grains, like maize, are used far more for feed than for food. In the United States, wheat is primarily used for food, but is also used as seed and as animal feed. In 2022, almost 90 percent of the wheat produced domestically was used for food. That year only about 90 million bushels were used for animal feed.

Crop Diversity in the United States A significant portion of the United States economy is rooted in agriculture. As a large country with a diverse and varied climate, the United States is perfectly suited to producing a huge variety of crops. For instance, much of the tobacco produced in the United States originates from North Carolina, Kentucky, and Virginia. However, when it comes to fresh vegetables, California had by far the highest production volume of any U.S. state as of 2018. Facts about U.S. Farms As the largest state in the continental United States, Texas also has the highest number of farms of any U.S. state, at 248 thousand in 2018. Missouri came in second place at 95 thousand farms in that year. Operating and maintaining a farm in the United States is labor intensive, with many different costs and expenses that must be considered in order to keep the farm profitable. As of 2017, around 15.3 percent of total farm production expenditure was attributed to animal feed.

The Quick Stats Database is the most comprehensive tool for accessing agricultural data published by the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). It allows you to customize your query by commodity, location, or time period. You can then visualize the data on a map, manipulate and export the results as an output file compatible for updating databases and spreadsheets, or save a link for future use. Quick Stats contains official published aggregate estimates related to U.S. agricultural production. County level data are also available via Quick Stats. The data include the total crops and cropping practices for each county, and breakouts for irrigated and non-irrigated practices for many crops, for selected States. The database allows custom extracts based on commodity, year, and selected counties within a State, or all counties in one or more States. The county data includes totals for the Agricultural Statistics Districts (county groupings) and the State. The download data files contain planted and harvested area, yield per acre and production. NASS develops these estimates from data collected through:

hundreds of sample surveys conducted each year covering virtually every aspect of U.S. agriculture
