AGRICULTURAL ALCHEMY
DEMOGRAPHIC DIVERSITY
Farmers are less diverse—but it depends on age and race.
When it comes to the demographics of U.S. farmers, there was a minor shift in diversity in the 2022 census. This shift comes at a pivotal time when the U.S. agricultural sector is expected to experience a wave of new ownership in the next two decades. With so many new voices entering the industry, it’s important to understand the scope of varying backgrounds, cultures, and experiences joining the table.
