About the Farmers.gov Local Dashboard

As you run your farm operation, you may need information that's hard to analyze or scattered across different websites. We created the Farmers.gov Local Dashboard to gather farmer-focused data and local resources in one place so that you can:

  • Easily access materials that are relevant to you and your farm operation in a single place.
  • Make better-informed and data-driven business decisions for your farm operation.
  • Use easy-to-read charts and graphs to view and analyze data of complex data sets.
