Note: Small family farms are those reporting gross cash farm income (GCFI) less than $350,000. Midsize family farms have GCFI between $350,000 and $999,999. Large-scale family farms are those with GCFI of one million U.S. dollars or more. Nonfamily farms are any farm where any operator and any related individuals do not own a majority (50 percent) of the business.
Only farms that harvested cropland are included in the estimates for yield monitors, yield maps, soil maps; guidance autosteering; variable rate technologies; and drones. Likewise, only farms that produced milk are included in the estimates of robotic milking adoption, and only farms with sales of livestock commodities (cattle, hogs, dairy, poultry, and other livestock) are included in the estimates of wearable livestock technologies.
Data do not include farms in Alaska, Hawaii, or on Native American reservations.Â
