Grain and prices within 50 miles

Not a contract; call before you haul. Livestock lines show where the 2022 Census counts 1,000 head or more: milk for milk cows, feeder cattle for beef cows, live cattle for cattle on feed, hogs for hogs, hay for all cattle.

Land value

Programs and risk
No county ARC or PLC estimate here. ARC or PLC in Connecticut.

Crop insurance record
Claims paid divided by total premium (the farmer share plus the federal subsidy), each closed crop year since 2024 with at least $1,000,000 of premium; a year under that has no bar and no ratio. Above the dashed line, the county's insurance book paid out more than it took in. 2026, still open, is left out.
What farms here look like
