New York: commodity / ARC-PLC families lead a mid book

New York stamps COMMODITY-LED · MID: commodity / ARC-PLC / MFP families carry most of $165M in FY2023, led by Disaster Assistance.

Cash-receipt leadership is Cattle and Corn ($455M) inside $7.1B total receipts; the commodity ledger, not the disaster or conservation line, is the first read for this stamp.

County farm-count and sales tables below are the separate 2022 NASS Census population and do not sum to this ERS state total. Figures follow USDA Economic Research Service Farm Income and Wealth Statistics.

Latest release change: -67.8% · $165M FY2023 → $53M FY2024 (MID book; full year table reserved for heavier states).

New York vs. every rankable state: what goes into crop insurance isn't what comes out

Each dot is a state that clears the $1M premiums floor, placed by what it pays IN (premiums, left to right) against what its indemnities return relative to that (loss ratio, bottom to top). Paying more into the program is not the same as getting more out of it, a state can sit in the small-payer / outsized-payout quadrant just as easily as the reverse.

New York pays $40M in crop-insurance premiums (#34 of 47 rankable states) against a 186% loss ratio (#31 by claims relative to premiums): a small payer, net subsidizer of the program state, not simply "pays a lot" or "pays a little."

What to do with New York's numbers

New York ranks #25 of 50 states by total ERS farm payments. Three places to take that further:

  • See how New York compares against the 4 closest Northeast states by payment volume. Compare states
  • Drill into Cayuga County, New York's top county by commodity sales in the 2022 NASS Census. County detail
  • Compare commodity cash-receipt accounts for the program-level context behind these totals. Learn more

State payment totals (USDA ERS) and county figures (2022 NASS Census of Agriculture) are separate populations and must not be summed together.
