Agriculture is the backbone of our economy. Farmers are the reason that we have food in the United States. For the United States, farming played an essential part in our economy and within our culture. Family farms are still the majority in the United States, with these farms being an essential part of agriculture in the United States. Most of these farms in the United States are small, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usda.gov\/media\/blog\/2017\/07\/20\/diverse-family-farms-are-important-us-agriculture\">upwards of 90% of them being operated on half of the United State&#8217;s farmland<\/a>. That&#8217;s why farming and agriculture grants can be beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don&#8217;t talk often enough about the importance of farming and agriculture. We don&#8217;t talk often enough about how the workers who operate these farms account for much of our poultry and eggs in the United States as well as many of our commodities. That&#8217;s why today we&#8217;re going to share some of the farming and agriculture grants to help interested subscribers locate relevant grants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let&#8217;s Talk Numbers and Facts That Are Cool to Know<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So, we&#8217;re going to talk more about some of the important statistics around farming before we start sharing these grants. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nass.usda.gov\/\">These are courtesy of the U.S Department of Agriculture.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of farms in the United States has declined significantly since its peak in 1935. In 1935, the United States had $6.8 million in farms. The reasons for the decline include factors like technological success in agriculture and non-farm-related employment opportunities. There are 2.02 million farms in the US in 2021.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>The number of farms in the United States has declined significantly since its peak in 1935.

There are 2.02 million farms in the US in 2021.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a couple more interesting statistics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corn and soybeans accounted for 40% of all crop cash receipts in 2019. The total dollar amount of crop cash receipts in 2019 totaled $193.3 billion! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>U.S net farm income will decline in 2021. Inflation-adjusted net farm income is set to decline 9.7% overall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nass.usda.gov\/Data_and_Statistics\/index.php\">Read more facts about farming over at the USDA website<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We&#8217;re Sharing 5 Farming and Agriculture Grants for Readers to Check Out<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>So our first grant listed we have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/171588\/grants-to-usa-nonprofits-agencies-and-businesses-to-promote-local-agriculture-and-address-the-effects-of-the-covid-pandemic.html\">grants listed for USA nonprofits, agencies, and businesses<\/a>.
