The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will mail the 2022 Census of Agriculture to millions of agriculture producers across the 50 states and Puerto Rico this fall.

72.5 million hogs and pigs reside on U.S. farms as of June 1, down 1% from June 2021 and down slightly from March 1, 2022, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS).

Over 147,000 U.S. farms produced and sold food locally through direct marketing practices, resulting in $9.0 billion in revenue in 2020.
