USA: We’ve lost 14,950 farms and 2,100,000 acres of farmland since 2023
The USDA has reported the loss of farmland in the U.S. for 2024. The numbers line up with a trend that’s been going on for years, totaling 150,000 farms lost since 2017.

Excerpt:
The 2024 Farms and Land in Farms 2024 Summary by the USDA was released earlier this month, detailing the following:
we lost 14,950 farms
we lost 2,100,000 acres of farmland
…in just one year. The report went on to detail something peculiar that I couldn’t help but notice. While we are losing overall acreage and farms in operation, the average size of farming operations is increasing in size. The average farm size clocked in at 466 acres, up from 464 acres in 2023.
If farms are disappearing, farmers are retiring, and farmland is for sale around the country, how are farms increasing in size?
It points to a trend that smells of corporate consolidation.
Before someone comments that I am fear-mongering here, I am merely reporting what came out in this USDA summary this month. If it sounds alarming, well, it’s because it is. However, I am an optimist and a futurist, and believe that we are capable of stopping this trend, or changing how we farm in the decades to come. But first, we have to acknowledge what is happening right before our very eyes.
