What the Aleutian Islands County Farm Data Shows
Aleutian Islands County, Alaska reads as a PASTURE-LED county with TRACE federal payment intensity. In the NASS Census vocabulary this portal uses, cropland is under 25% of agricultural land, a mix where livestock forage and disaster titles (LFP/ELAP) usually outweigh row-crop commodity programs; payments per agricultural acre fall in the lowest national quintile, under $3.41 an acre, so program receipts are a marginal line beside market revenue.
The state comparisons on this page use the 5 of 5 Alaska counties with published commodity sales, averaging the two central values when the count is even. Payments per acre use the 5 counties that report both receipts and acreage, and net-income peers are the 4 that reported a profit.
