Abstract
As discussed previously, Illinois was home to 75,087 farms in 2012 (farmdoc daily, May 9, 2014), and the average farm size, as measured by acreage operated, increased by 3.2% from the 2007 Census of Agriculture (farmdoc daily, July 16, 2014). This article revisits the distribution of farm size, but highlights two important findings. One, the majority of Illinois’ small farms are dedicated to livestock production, and, two, the largest farms, in terms of acreage operated, account for a significant majority of the State’s value of agricultural production.
