Agriculture is a major user of ground and surface water in the United States, accounting for 80 percent of the Nation's consumptive water use and over 90 percent in many Western States. This ERS research program investigates water allocation, water conservation, and water management issues facing irrigated agriculture. The focus is on irrigated agriculture, but other sectors are examined for their competitive influence on water supplies and impacts of water reallocations among agricultural, environmental, and urban users. It includes consideration of the role of water markets, producer decisions, institutional adjustments (including Federal water infrastructure), and water-related policies with respect to resource costs, water quality, profitability, and environmental effects, as well as analysis of the adoption of water conserving technologies.

The data set covers Monthly and Annual milk COP estimates by State. Estimates since 2016 are based on the 2016 Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) data from milk producers.

Data on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly the Food Stamp Program) participation and costs. Nation-wide and state level program participation counts and recipiency rates; value of benefits issued and other costs. The US Food Stamp/SNAP program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service, is the largest food assistance program in the country, reaching more poor individuals over the course of a year than any other public assistance program. Unlike many other public assistance programs, SNAP has few categorical requirements for eligibility, such as the presence of children, elderly, or disabled individuals in a household. As a result, the program offers assistance to a large and diverse population of needy persons, many of whom are not eligible for other forms of assistance.   All data except population estimates originate from USDA Food & Nutrition Service. Sources & notes:For the national-wide totals USDA Food & Nutrition Service national level annual summaries are used. Totals for national level include all states, District of Columbia and island areas, excluding Puerto Rico. Totals for 1975-1982 including Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico initiated Food Stamp operations during FY 1975 and participated through June of FY 1982. A separate Nutrition Assistance Grant began in July 1982.State-level data for 2010-2014 from theUSDA Food & Nutrition Service national level annual summaries. For 2001-2009 - data from USDA SNAP State Activity reports. For the previous years - USDA data from the US Department of Health & Human Services "Welfare Indicators and Risk Factors" annual reports to Congress. Resident population counts are US Census Bureau’s latest estimates; for Guam and Virgin Islands -World Bank Population Estimates & Projections. Totals for United States resident population DOES NOT include Puerto Rico & island areas. Recipiency rates expressed as percentages of total population have been correctly computed using corresponding summary population values

Texas: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program 

These are the latest U.S. farm sector income and wealth statistics data. The data include historical U.S. and State-level farm income and wealth estimates, and U.S.-level forecasts for the current calendar year. Data are released three times a year: typically in February, August, and November. The U.S.-level calendar-year forecast is first provided in February, and is updated in August and November. The August release converts the prior year's farm income and balance sheet forecasts to estimates, adds State-level farm income estimates, and revises previous years' estimates. The November release updates the current year's forecast and revises previous years' estimates, as needed. 2022 are forecast values.
