What the Lake County Farm Data Shows
Lake County, Minnesota 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 87 of 87 Minnesota counties with published commodity sales, averaging the two central values when the count is even. Payments per acre use the 84 counties that report both receipts and acreage, and net-income peers are the 85 that reported a profit.
Net cash farm income was not published for Lake County (NASS confidentiality withhold). Pair the payment peers below before treating any single county as representative of Minnesota.
