Farms Growing in Size but Dwindling in Numbers
While the average farm size in 2007 increased by about three acres compared to the 2006 numbers, the total land in farms decreased by more than 1 million acres in the past year, according to the United States Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service report "Farms, Land in Farms, and Livestock Operations." The number of U.S. farms also decreased in the past year - down to 2.8 million farms nationwide, a 0.6 percent decrease from one year ago.
