Agricultural Productivity in the United States
This data product provides estimates of agricultural outputs, inputs, and total factor productivity (TFP) indices for the aggregate farm sector for the period 1948 to 2021 (table 1)—along with price and quantity indices for 10 outputs and 12 inputs (table 1a).
This data product also contains the reinstated, revised, and extended estimates of the relative levels of TFP, and price and quantity indices for outputs and inputs for the 48 contiguous States for the years 1960–2015 (table 2). State estimates are not made for Alaska and Hawaii, as some major data are not available for the entire period. Note that former State tables 3–23 have been retired with the November 2024 release.
The next update to the U.S. aggregate accounts—planned for the end of 2025—is expected to contain estimates of agricultural outputs, inputs, and total factor productivity indices for the aggregate farm sector (national) through 2023. An update schedule for the State-level accounts has not been established.
