What the Duchesne County Farm Data Shows
Duchesne County, Utah reads as a PASTURE-LED county with TRACE federal payment intensity. 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 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 29 of 29 Utah counties with published commodity sales, averaging the two central values when the count is even. Payments per acre use the 29 counties that report both receipts and acreage, and net-income peers are the 22 that reported a profit.
