Overview
ERS collected data from USDA-accredited State and private
certification groups to calculate the extent of certified organic
farmland acreage and livestock in the United States. These are
presented in tables showing the change in U.S. organic acreage and
livestock numbers from 1992 to 2008 (see the National tables
section). Data for 1997 and 2000-08 are presented by State and
commodity (see the State tables section).
Organic production tables are in .xls format. Each workbook
contains multiple years of data in worksheets that are accessed
through tabs. State-level tables cover the years 1997 and 2000
through 2008. National-level tables also include data from earlier
years.
