An Overview of Farms Operated by Socially Disadvantaged, Women, and Limited Resource Farmers and Ranchers in the United States

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recognizes several groups of farmers who have been historically underserved by the USDA and operates several programs and policies targeting these groups. This report provides an overview of the characteristics of the farms operated by socially disadvantaged (individuals identifying as Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Hispanic or Latino, and Asian or Pacific Islander), women, and limited resource producers using data from the annual Agricultural Resource Management Survey. The report summarizes measures of farm financial health, credit use, agricultural program participation, and other farm-level characteristics, along with information about the principal operator and the principal operator’s household, including household income and wealth.
