- ams6110 12y agoIndeed. But that's their own claim, not supported by any cited independent source. They may be at 15% of some undefined subset of farms (e.g. wheat, corn, or soybean farms larger than n acres) or something like that.
- kochb 12y agoYou're correct, it's 15% of row crop farms (corn, soy, wheat, etc).
- keithwarren 12y agoHow do you quantify that (is there really an accurate count of how many of those farms exist?)
- vram22 12y agoGood point. Also, "15% of the total number of farms in the US" is not the same as "15% of the total farmed area of the US", since farms can obviously have widely varying acreage.
- gammarator 12y agoI am somewhat skeptical of that number, but users seem to have good things to say about it: http://talk.newagtalk.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=423941&mid=3386621#M3386621 http://talk.newagtalk.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=423941&... (Now you know where the farmer message board is...)
