In Warren County, non-irrigated cropland rents for roughly $128/acre and farmland is valued near $5,779/acre (USDA NASS).

Warren County is predominantly soybeans country — a row crop county. Its leading harvested crops are soybeans (~53% of harvested cropland), corn (~28% of harvested cropland), and hay (~14% of harvested cropland) (USDA NASS, 2022 Census of Agriculture).

Cattle run at roughly 7 head per 100 farmland acres (about 3,944 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 62% of the county's recorded USDA farm-subsidy dollars across 25 recipients (EWG Farm Subsidy Database, totalfarm, 2024). A descriptive split of recorded payments, not a measure of need.

What drives this score
  • Receives less USDA $/acre than most MO counties — often reflects pasture, specialty, or non-commodity land, not unclaimed funding.
  • Elevated beginning-producer presence (64 per 100 farms)
  • Elevated women-producer presence (65 per 100 farms)
  • High veteran population (10.7%)
  • Above-median insured loss ratio (2.31).

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.

2024 USDA subsidy $ (EWG totalfarm) ÷ land-in-farms acres (115,250 acres, USDA NASS 2022 Census).
