What the Hinsdale County Farm Data Shows
Hinsdale County, Colorado reads as a PASTURE-LED county with no published payments-per-acre stamp. 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 acre could not be stamped because NASS did not publish receipts or acreage for this county.
The state comparisons on this page use the 60 of 63 Colorado counties with published commodity sales (3 withheld by NASS to protect respondents are left out, not counted as zero), averaging the two central values when the count is even. Payments per acre use the 57 counties that report both receipts and acreage, and net-income peers are the 44 that reported a profit.
