# Disaster Assistance Fuels 2025’s Farm Income Rebound | Farm Bureau Intel Markets | American Farm Bureau Federation

> USDA's latest farm income forecast projects 2025 net farm income of $180.1 billion, up $41 billion from 2024. The agency lowered its 2024 estimate to $139.1 billion. The rise is driven mainly by disaster and economic assistance payments, and the Farm Bureau says the rebound overstates underlying farm health.

## Why it matters

The projected income rise is largely government aid rather than market strength, so it does not signal stronger commodity demand. Farmers still face low prices and tariff risk, which may limit spending on feed and inputs.
