The farm definition was changed in 1993 to include maple syrup, short rotation woody crops, and places with five or more horses. This statistic was assembled from several USDA annual statistics reports.
The average size of farms in the United States has seen a steady increase over the last decade. In 2025, the average farm size reached 469 acres, up from 418 acres in 2007. Between 2006 and 2007 there was a sudden drop in average farm size, but in recent years it has recovered and once again reached the same levels as its peak in 2006.Â
The United States produces a wide variety of crops. Though the production volumes of some major crops, such as wheat, have fluctuated considerably since 2000, the production of vegetables for processing has been on the rise in recent years. Grapes, apples, and oranges are the most produced fruits in the United States, with the majority of grapes being grown in California.
