Proportion of Farms in Selected Commodity Sales Categories 1997-2002 by Region
|
OSEDA Regional Grouping of Counties Many demographic factors vary by region within the state of Missouri. For the convenience of our user community, OSEDA prepares tables using three different regional groupings of counties: Extension, Economic Development and Transportation. For each of these groupings, one table summarizes the indicators by regional total and a second table shows values for each county grouped by region. Users may select the county grouping most helpful for their application and understanding. |

UM Extension Regions
Table 1 shows that in all eight MU Extension Regions at least 54 percent of farms had commodity sales of less than $10,000 in 2002. Similarly, in all eight regions at least 22 percent of all farms had commodity sales of between $10,000 and $49,999. By adding those two sales categories of farms it shows that in all regions at least 78 percent of farms had sales of less than $49,999 - in two regions South Central and East Central at least 89 percent of all farms had sales of less than $49,999. These regional data clearly reveal that at least 80 percent of farms throughout Missouri have commodity sales of less than $50,000 - see Map 1. Farms in that commodity sales range are generally considered to be part-time in that most household agriculture derives from sources other than farming.
At the other extreme Table 1 shows that 7.3 percent of all Missouri farms had 2002 commodity sales of between $100,000 and $500,000. An additional 1.5 percent of all Missouri farms in 2002 had commodity sales in excess of $500,000. Among the eight extension regions, 15.8 percent of farmers in the Southeast Region had agricultural commodity sales in excess of $100,000. That was the highest percentage of full-time commercial farms among the eight regions. The Southeast Region was followed by the Central Region in which 10.7 percent of farms, the Northeast Region with 10.3 percent of farms and Northwest Region with 9.9 percent of farms having had commodity sales in excess of $100,000 in 2002.

Fewer than 7.5 percent of farms in each of the remaining four Extension Regions had commodity sales in excess of $100,000 in 2002 - see Map 2.
Missouri Department of Economic Development Regions
Table 2 shows that in all DED Regions except the Bootheel at least 53 percent of farms had commodity sales of less than $10,000 in 2002. Similarly, in all 13 regions at least 20 percent of all farms had commodity sales of between $10,000 and $49,999. By adding those two sales categories of farms it shows that in all regions except the Bootheel at least 81 percent of farms had sales of less than $50,000, in four regions, St. Louis MSA, Springfield-Branson, Lake Ozark-Rolla and Lower East Central - Cape Girardeau at least 89 percent of all farms had sales of less than $50,000. These regional data clearly reveal that, again with the exception of the six county Bootheel Region, at least 81 percent of farms throughout Missouri have commodity sales of less than $50,000. A farm in that commodity sales range is generally considered to be part-time in that most of their household agriculture derives from sources other than farming.
At the other extreme, Table 2 shows that 7.3 percent of all Missouri farms had 2002 commodity sales of between $100,000 and $500,000. An additional 1.5 percent of all Missouri farms had commodity sales in excess of $500,000. Among the thirteen DED Regions, 25.3 percent of farmers in the Bootheel Region had agricultural commodity sales in excess of $100,000. That was by far the highest percentage of full-time commercial farms among the DED Regions. The Bootheel Region was followed by the Northeast Region in which 11.0 percent of farms, the Northeast Region in which 10.6 percent of farms, the West Central with 9.6 percent of farms, the North Central with 9.5 percent of farms and the Southwest Region with 9.2 percent of farms had commodity sales in excess of $100,000 in 2002.
Fewer than 7.3 percent of farms in each six of the remaining DED Regions had commodity sales in excess of $100,000 in 2002.
Missouri Department of Transportation (MODOT) Districts
Table 3 shows that in all ten MODOT Districts at least 53 percent of farms had commodity sales of less than $10,000 in 2002. Similarly, in all ten districts at least 21 percent of all farms had commodity sales of between $10,000 and $49,999. By adding those two sales categories of farms it shows that in all districts except Sikeston (Bootheel) and Hannibal at least 81 percent of farms had sales of less than $50,000. In three districts, Willow Springs, Springfield, and St. Louis at least 89 percent of all farms had sales of less than $50,000. These regional data clearly reveal that at least 78 percent of farms throughout Missouri have commodity sales of less than $50,000. Farms in that commodity sales range are generally considered to be part-time since most of their household income derives from sources other than farming.
At the other extreme Table 3 shows that 7.3 percent of all Missouri farms had 2002 commodity sales of between $100,000 and $500,000. An additional 1.5 percent of all Missouri farms had commodity sales in excess of $500,000. Among the ten MODOT Districts, 16.0 percent of farmers in the Sikeston District had agricultural commodity sales in excess of $100,000. That was the highest percentage of full-time commercial farms among the MODOT Districts. The Sikeston District was followed by the Hannibal District in which 12.8 percent of farms, the St. Joseph District in which 10.3 percent of farms, and the Macon District with 9.6 percent of farms had commodity sales in excess of $100,000 in 2002.
Fewer than 7.6 percent of farms in five of the remaining MODOT Districts had commodity sales in excess of $100,000 in 2002.
Regional Planning Commission Regions
Table 4 shows that in 17 of the Regional Planning Commission Regions at least 52 percent of farms had commodity sales of less than $10,000 in 2002. Similarly, in all but one of the RPCs at least 21 percent of all farms had commodity sales of between $10,000 and $49,999. By adding those two sales categories of farms it shows that in all RPC Regions except the Bootheel and the NWMO Council of Governments at least 80 percent of farms had sales of less than $50,000. In five RPCs, East-West Gateway Coordinating Council, Meramec, Mid-America, Ozark Foothills and SEMO, at least 89 percent of all farms had sales of less than $50,000. These regional data clearly reveal that at least 80 percent of farms throughout Missouri have commodity sales of less than $50,000. Farms in that commodity sales range are generally considered to be part-time since most of their household income derives from sources other than farming.
At the other extreme, Table 4 shows that 7.3 percent of all Missouri farms had 2002 commodity sales of between $100,000 and $500,000. An additional 1.5 percent of all Missouri farms had commodity sales in excess of $500,000. Among the 19 RPCs the Bootheel RPC had 36.5 percent of farmers with agricultural commodity sales in excess of $100,000. That was the highest percentage of full-time commercial farms among the RPCs. The Bootheel RPC was followed by the NWMO Regional Council of Governments in which 15.8 percent of farms, the Mark Twain Regional Council of Governments in which 12.0 percent of farms, the Pioneer Trails in which 11.5 percent of farms and the Northeast Missouri RPC in which 9.9 percent of farms had commodity sales in excess of $100,000 in 2002.
Fewer than 7.4 percent of farms in nine of the remaining RPCs had commodity sales in excess of $100,000 in 2002.
