By 2006, million-dollar farms, accounting for 2 percent of all U.S. farms, dominated U.S. production of high-value crops, milk, hogs, poultry, andbeef. The shift to million-dollar farms is likely to continue because they tend to be more profitable than smaller farms, giving them a competitive advantage. Most million-dollarfarms (84 percent) are family farms, that is, the farm operator and relatives of the operator own the business. The million-dollar farms organized as nonfamily corporationstend to have no more than 10 stockholders. This report examines the growth of production from million-dollar farms since the 1980s. It lays out the current role of million-dollar farms in U.S. commercial agriculture, including their share of farms, their production of specific commodities, and their receipt of Government payments. |
