Abstract

Using data from the 2009–2020 Agricultural Resource Management Surveys, we compare the financial position and performance of African American farms to that of other U.S. farms. The results suggest that, relative to others, the average African American farm has lower total value of production, net cash farm income, government payments, assets, and debts. We obtained mixed results regarding financial performance, with African American farms having lower profitability, liquidity, and efficiency than others but higher solvency. To our knowledge, this study is the first to provide a contemporary overview of the status of African American farms using detailed, farm‐level financial data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The article discusses the financial performance of African-American farms in the United States compared to farms operated by individuals of other races. It highlights that African-American farms generally had lower total value of production, net cash farm income, and government payments. The article also mentions that African-American farmers have historically had limited access to government support programs due to the small size of their farms. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought renewed attention to the economic challenges faced by minority farmers, leading to the creation of an equity commission and increased funding for outreach and assistance programs. The article concludes by discussing the differences in farm size, profitability, and commodity choice that contribute to the financial disparities between African-American farms and other farms.
