About Farming in Warren County

On the support axis, Warren County leans underserved: by USDA dollars per farmland acre, Warren County sits toward the less-supported end of Pennsylvania counties (Underserved Score 85/100) — often a marker of pasture, specialty, or non-commodity land rather than unclaimed funding. Set against that, veterans make up about 12% of the adult population (USDA ERS) — a community where veteran-and-beginning-farmer USDA programs may be especially worth a look.

Warren County has roughly 380 farms working about 66,377 acres of land in farms (USDA NASS, 2022 Census of Agriculture), averaging ~175 acres per farm.

In Warren County, non-irrigated cropland rents for roughly $38/acre and farmland is valued near $3,633/acre (USDA NASS).

Warren County is predominantly hay country — a forage county. Its leading harvested crops are hay (~46% of harvested cropland), corn (~15% of harvested cropland), and soybeans (~3% of harvested cropland) (USDA NASS, 2022 Census of Agriculture).

Cattle run at roughly 11 head per 100 farmland acres (about 4,162 head of beef cows in inventory) here (USDA NASS, 2022 Census).

Recorded payments in Warren County are fairly concentrated: the top 5 recipients accounted for about 58% of the county's recorded USDA farm-subsidy dollars across 39 recipients (EWG Farm Subsidy Database, totalfarm, 2025). A descriptive split of recorded payments, not a measure of need.

Among the nearby Pennsylvania counties listed below, Warren County's Underserved Score (85/100) is higher (less USDA support per acre) than the local average (~69/100), ranking above 5 of 6 of them (higher = historically less USDA $/acre than peers).

With grazing and forage a large part of the land use in Warren 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 PA counties — often reflects pasture, specialty, or non-commodity land, not unclaimed funding.
  • Rural (non-metro) county
  • High veteran population (11.8%)
  • 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.
