Over 500,000 in US Growing Corn, NCGA Reports
06 August 2025, US: The National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) released numbers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture today showing there are 526,263 farmers in the U.S. growing corn.
NCGA has long said it represents the interest of over 300,000 corn growers. But that number, published by USDA, is the number of farms in the country, not the number of farmers making the decisions on the farm.
“This new finding is exciting,” said NCGA Economist Krista Swanson. “It shows the broader swath of farming individuals our association represents and gives us new insight for future economic analysis.”
USDA released the numbers to NCGA in response to a special data tabulation request.
