According to the 1992 Census of Agriculture, the number of large farms (those with sales of $100,000 or more) has increased rapidly in the last quarter century. Where there was one large farm in 1969, there were six in 1992. While total farm count has dwindled from 2.7 million in 1969 to 1.9 million in 1992, the number of large farms has jumped from 51,995 in 1969 to 333,865 in 1992. Large farms and farms with less than $100,000 in sales provide two distinctly different profiles.
