? What do we really know about American farmers? Sanah Baig, Former Deputy Under Secretary at the USDA, discussed this topic with our CEO and host Elysabeth Alfano in an episode of the Upside & Impact: Investing for Change podcast. This episode, a highlight clip, and an article sharing stats and facts from the USDA is on Advisorpedia’s website. Some of these stats include: ?? The Top 8%-10% of farms and producers in the U.S. are making 90% of the farm income. ?? The U.S. lost 20 million acres of farmland between 2017 and 2022, equivalent to the size of Maine. ???? The average age of farmers has risen to 58.1 years, with over one-third of farmers now aged 65 or older. ?? 84% of farm families rely on off-farm income, and over 50% of farmers operate at a loss when relying solely on farm income. Links to the website and to the podcast are in the comments. ?? Want to always get the latest Upside & Impact podcast?
