In 2024, the average value of U.S. farm real estate was 4,170 U.S. dollars per acre. Compared to one decade earlier, the value has increased by almost 40 percent. Generally, the value of U.S. farm real estate has had an upward trend since 1970. U.S. farms The number of farms in the United States has conversely been decreasing each year, reaching about two million farms as of 2022. That year, Texas had the most farms out of any other U.S. state by far, with about 246,000 farms. Missouri and Iowa had the second and third most farms, though neither state exceeded 100,000 farms. Agricultural trade Agricultural products encompass any products from agricultural origin that are meant for human consumption or animal feed. Agricultural products can include livestock products or crops. In 2022, the U.S. exported about 196.4 billion U.S. dollars’ worth of agricultural goods worldwide, increasing from the previous several years. Mexico is a key destination for U.S. agricultural products and imported just over 28 billion dollars’ worth in 2022, more than Europe and Eurasia combined.

This EnviroAtlas data set depicts estimates for mean cash rent paid for land by farmers, sorted by county for irrigated cropland, non-irrigated cropland, and pasture by for most of the conterminous US. This data comes from national surveys which includes approximately 240,000 farms and applies to all crops. According to the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), these surveys do not include land rented for a share of the crop, on a fee per head, per pound of gain, by animal unit month (AUM), rented free of charge, or land that includes buildings such as barns. For each land use category with positive acres, respondents are given the option of reporting rent per acre or total dollars paid. This dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United States. The dataset is available as downloadable data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas) or as an EnviroAtlas map service. Additional descriptive information about each attribute in this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets).

Descriptions Excel Application Tool for Statewide Agricultural Water Use Data 2016 - 2020 Department of water resources, Water Use Efficiency Branch, Water Use Unit program, has developed an Excel application tool, which calculates annual estimates of irrigated crop area (ICA), crop evapotranspiration (ETc), effective precipitation (Ep), evapotranspiration of applied water (ETaw), consumed fraction (CF), and applied water (AW) for 20 crop categories by combinations of detailed analysis unit and county (DAUCo) over California. The 2016 – 2020 statewide agricultural water use data were developed by all 4 DWR’s Regional Offices (Northern Region Office, North Central Region Office, South Central Region Office, and Southern Region Office) using Cal_simetaw model for updating the information in the California Water Plan Updates-2023. Therefore, this current Excel application tool just covers agricultural water use data from the period of 2016 - 2020 water years. It should also be mentioned that there are 3 other similar Excel applications that cover 1998 - 2005 and 2006 – 2010, & 2011 - 2015 agricultural water use data for the California Water plan Updates 2005/2009, 2013, and 2018 respectively. Outputs data provided from this Excel application include ICA in acres, EP, both in unit values (Acre feet per acre) & volume (acre feet), ETc both in unit values (acre feet per acre), & volume (acre feet), ETaw, both in unit value (acre feet per acre), & volume (acre feet), AW, both in unit value (acre feet per acre) & volume (acre feet), CF (in percentage %) for WYs 2016 – 2020 at Detailed Analysis Unit by County (DAUCO), Detailed Analysis Unit (DAU), County, Planning Area (PA), Hydrological Region (HR), and Statewide spatial scales using the dropdown menu. Furthermore, throughout the whole process numerous computations and aggregation equations in various worksheets are included in this Excel application. And for obvious reasons all worksheets in this Excel application are hidden and password protected. So, accidentally they won’t be tampered with or changed/revised.
Following are definitions of terminology and listing of 20 crop categories used in this Excel application.
Study Area Maps
The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) subdivided California into study areas for planning purposes. The largest study areas are the ten hydrologic regions (HR),
The next level of delineation is the planning area (PAS), which are composed of multiple detailed analysis units (DAU). The DAUs are often split by county boundaries, so the
smallest study areas used by DWR is DAU/County. Many planning studies begin at the Dau or PA level, and the results are aggregated into hydrologic regions for presentation.
Irrigated Crop Area (ICA) in acres
The total amount of land irrigated for the purpose of growing a crop (includes multi-cropping acres)
3- Multi-cropping (MC) in acres
A section of land that has more than one crop grown on it in a year, this included one crop being planted more than once in a season in the same field.
Please note that there are no double cropping acreages for 2017. Because on a normal year when Regional Offices (RO) receive data from Land IQ, they were able to provide double cropping acreages. Since the 2017 land use data was derived from average crop acres between water years 2016 and 2018,2019, & 2020, they lost spatial and temporal data necessary to calculate double cropping.
Evapotranspiration (ET)
Combination of soil evaporation and transpiration is referred to as evapotranspiration or ET. The rate of evapotranspiration from the plant-soil environment is primarily dependent on the energy available from solar radiation but is also dependent on relative humidity, temperature, cloud cover, and wind speed. It is an indication for how much your crops, lawn, garden, and trees need for healthy growth and productivity.
Reference Evapotranspiration (ETo)
Reference evapotranspiration (ETo) is an estimate of the evapotranspiration of a 10-15 cm tall cool season grass and not lacking for water. The daily Standardized Reference Evapotranspiration for short canopies is calculated using the Penman-Monteith (PM) equation (Monteith, 1965) as presented in the United Nations FAO Irrigation and Drainage Paper (FAO 56) by Allen et al. (1988).
Penman-Monteith Equation (PM)
Equation is used to estimate ETo when daily solar radiation, maximum and minimum air temperature, dew point temperature, and wind speed data are available. It is recommended by both the America Society of Civil Engineers and United Nations FAO for estimating ETo.
Crop Evapotranspiration (ETc), both in unit value (acre feet per acre), & volume (acre feet)
Commonly known as potential evapotranspiration, which is the amount of water used by plants in transpiration and evaporation of water from adjacent plants and soil surfaces during a specific time period. ETc is computed
as the product of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) and a crop coefficient (Kc) value, i.e., ETc = ETo x Kc.
One Acre foot equals about 325851 gallons, or enough water to cover an acre of land about the size of a football field, one foot deep.
Crop Coefficient (Kc)
Relates ET of a given crop at a specific time in its growth stage to a reference ET. Incorporates effects of crop growth state, crop density, and other cultural factors affecting ET. The reference condition has been termed "potential" and relates to grass. The main sources of Kc information are the FAO 24 (Doorenbos and Pruitt 1977) and FAO 56 (Allen et al. 1988) papers on evapotranspiration.
Effective Precipitation (Ep), both in unit value (acre feet per acre), & volume (acre feet)
Fraction of rainfall effectively used by a crop, rather than mobilized as runoff or deep percolation
Evapotranspiration of Applied Water (ETaw), both in unit value (acre feet per acre), & volume (acre feet)
Net amount of irrigation water needed to produce a crop (not including irrigation application efficiency). Soil characteristic data and crop information with precipitation and ETc data are used to generate hypothetical water balance irrigation schedules to determine ETaw.
Applied Water (AW), both in unit value (acre feet per acre), & volume (acre feet)
Estimated as the ETaw divided by the mean seasonal irrigation system application efficiency.
Consumed Fraction (CF) in percentage (%)
An estimate of how irrigation water is efficiently applied on fields to meet crop water, frost protection, and leaching requirements for a whole season or full year.
