USDA projects 2022 US net farm income at $147.7 billion, up $7.3 billion (5.2%) from 2021, and net cash farm income at $168.5 billion. Crop receipts are expected to rise 15.3%, while inflation-adjusted net income is 42% above its 20-year average.
Higher crop receipts reflect firm commodity prices, but strong farm profits do not directly alter feed supply or demand balances.
