What the Assumption County Farm Data Shows
Assumption County, Louisiana reads as a CROP-HEAVY county with TRACE federal payment intensity. In the NASS Census vocabulary this portal uses, cropland is 75% or more of agricultural land, a profile where ARC/PLC eligibility and crop insurance density matter more than pasture-side disaster titles; 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 64 of 64 Louisiana counties with published commodity sales, averaging the two central values when the count is even. Payments per acre use the 59 counties that report both receipts and acreage, and net-income peers are the 52 that reported a profit.
