Looking Back - the 2007 Census of Agriculture Data for Herkimer and Oneida Counties

The Census of Agriculture is the leading source of facts and figures about American agriculture. Conducted every five years, the Census provides a detailed picture of U.S. farms and ranches and the people who operate them. It is the only source of uniform, comprehensive agricultural data for every state and county in the United States.

The last Census of Agriculture was conducted in 2007. Below are two pages for both Herkimer and Oneida Counties covering everything from the number of farms, the market value, the government payments, top crops grown and some basic demographics of farm operators. Some comparatives are offered with the 2002 CoA as well.
