USDA expands acreage reporting for urban and innovative producers
USDA announces acreage reporting improvements via FSA to include minimal reporting units as small as 0.000001 acre and to distinguish vertical farming practices. The rollout adds options to report plant inventory, supports urban centers with 17 Urban Service Centers and 2,300 Service Centers nationwide, and funds outreach, committees, and programs like UAIP to boost urban agriculture and innovative production.

Virginia cotton quality lifts Tidewater farming region
In Virginia the northernmost cotton belt yields high quality fiber despite limited acreage. Southampton County leads with 34,200 of 80,000 acres in 2023, as total harvest is projected to reach 90,000 this year. First generation farmer Gary Cross and son Lane manage 600 acres, using modern methods to produce lint for gins, with seed repurposed for animal feed and oil.
