What the Monroe County Farm Data Shows
Monroe County, Georgia reads as a MIXED county with no published payments-per-acre stamp. In the NASS Census vocabulary this portal uses, cropland is 25% to 50% of agricultural land with the balance in pasture, range, woodland or farmsteads, so row-crop and livestock-side programs are both in play; 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 156 of 159 Georgia 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 132 counties that report both receipts and acreage, and net-income peers are the 135 that reported a profit.
Commodity sales were suppressed by NASS for Monroe County, so it carries no state-median multiple. Pair the payment peers below before treating any single county as representative of Georgia.
