What the Shoshone County Farm Data Shows
Shoshone County, Idaho 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 44 of 44 Idaho counties with published commodity sales, averaging the two central values when the count is even. Payments per acre use the 41 counties that report both receipts and acreage, and net-income peers are the 41 that reported a profit.
