What the Luce County Farm Data Shows
Luce County, Michigan reads as a CROP-LED county with no published payments-per-acre stamp. In the NASS Census vocabulary this portal uses, cropland is 50% to 75% of agricultural land, a profile where ARC/PLC eligibility and crop insurance density matter more than pasture-side disaster titles; 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 81 of 83 Michigan counties with published commodity sales (2 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 80 counties that report both receipts and acreage, and net-income peers are the 74 that reported a profit.
