The average American farm was 466 acres in 2024, only 26 acres more than in the 1970s. When you examine the median size, where half of farms are larger and half are smaller, eradicating any skew from a few very large or very small farms, the typical American farm was only 72 acres in the 2022 Census of Agriculture. In fact, 42% of all farms are smaller than 50 acres. This wide gap between the average and median underscores how a relatively small number of very large farms pull up the average, while most farms operate on a much smaller scale.
