This is signposting from county land-use patterns, not an eligibility determination.

What drives this score
  • Receives below-GA-average USDA $/acre.
  • Rural (non-metro) county
  • Above-average beginning producers (47 per 100 farms)
  • Above-average women producers (48 per 100 farms)
  • Notable veteran population (6.9%)

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.
