Gross cash farm income (GCFI) is annual income before expenses and includes cash receipts from the sale of crops and animal/animal products, cash farm-related income, and Government farm program payments. In inflation-adjusted 2024 dollars, GCFI is forecast at $578.7 billion in 2024, versus $422.2 billion in 2004, with the increase across time primarily due to higher cash receipts. If forecasts are realized, GCFI would decrease by 3.7 percent in 2024 relative to 2023.
