About Farming in Creek County

Follow the money in Creek County and a pattern emerges: recorded USDA payments here are concentrated — the top five recipients account for roughly 79% of the county's recorded farm-subsidy dollars (EWG, totalfarm, 2025). It also helps to know that by USDA dollars per farmland acre, Creek County sits toward the less-supported end of Oklahoma counties (Underserved Score 72/100) — often a marker of pasture, specialty, or non-commodity land rather than unclaimed funding.

Creek County has roughly 1,655 farms working about 308,498 acres of land in farms (USDA NASS, 2022 Census of Agriculture), averaging ~186 acres per farm.

In Creek County, non-irrigated cropland rents for roughly $26/acre and farmland is valued near $2,971/acre (USDA NASS).

Creek County is predominantly hay country — a forage county. Its leading harvested crops are hay (~83% of harvested cropland), wheat (~4% of harvested cropland), and orchards & fruit (~1% of harvested cropland) (USDA NASS, 2022 Census of Agriculture).

Cattle run at roughly 13 head per 100 farmland acres (about 21,881 head of beef cows in inventory) here (USDA NASS, 2022 Census).

Recorded payments in Creek County are fairly concentrated: the top 5 recipients accounted for about 79% of the county's recorded USDA farm-subsidy dollars across 15 recipients (EWG Farm Subsidy Database, totalfarm, 2025). A descriptive split of recorded payments, not a measure of need.

Among the nearby Oklahoma counties listed below, Creek County's Underserved Score (72/100) is higher (less USDA support per acre) than the local average (~43/100), ranking above 6 of 6 of them (higher = historically less USDA $/acre than peers).

With grazing and forage a large part of the land use in Creek County, conservation and grazing-oriented USDA programs — such as the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP), and grassland options under CRP — may be worth asking your local NRCS office about. This is signposting from county land-use patterns, not an eligibility determination.

What drives this score
  • Receives less USDA $/acre than most OK counties — often reflects pasture, specialty, or non-commodity land, not unclaimed funding.
  • High veteran population (8.5%)
  • Lower insured-policy density than typical (0.0 policies/farm).

The Underserved Score (0–100) is a descriptive, relative measure of how little USDA farm-program support this county has historically received per acre compared with other counties — built from up to three public-data components (USDA support per acre, producer-priority composition, and crop-insurance coverage). Lower USDA $/acre often reflects pasture, specialty, or non-commodity land use, not unclaimed funding. This is not a measure of need, deservedness, or eligibility, and it does not predict that any farm will receive funding. Sources: USDA NASS, RMA, ERS, and EWG subsidy records.
