Selected USDA programs recorded in this county for 2025, each shown as its own figure. This is not a breakdown of the headline total above and the rows are not meant to be added up: the list is not exhaustive, and where one program sits inside another the same dollars appear on two lines, so a total of these rows can come out higher than the headline.

Not enough public data to score this county.
We don't have enough public data to publish a single Underserved Score for this county yet — the score is published only when all three components (USDA support per acre, producer-priority composition, and crop-insurance coverage) have data. The available components are shown above. Lower USDA $/acre often reflects pasture, specialty, or non-commodity land use, not unclaimed funding.
These are USDA programs commonly relevant to counties like this one, based on public county patterns. They are not a determination that you qualify — you may be eligible; check with your local FSA or NRCS office.
Counties receiving below-average USDA dollars per acre are often under-enrolled in conservation programs open to most land. You may be eligible — these are worth asking your NRCS or FSA office about.
If you grow covered program crops, these commodity-support programs may apply. Eligibility depends on your crops and base acres — check with your FSA office.
