In February 2026, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s Economic Research Service (ERS) updated state-level farm income estimates through calendar year 2024 and released national farm income projections for calendar years 2025 and 2026. In March 2026, the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute at the University of Missouri (FAPRI-MU) also released national farm income projections for calendar years 2025 through 2035. The present report published by the Rural and Farm Finance Policy Analysis Center (RaFF) provides an updated outlook for Kansas farm income in calendar years 2025 and 2026, as well as preliminary projections for 2027. It intends to inform policymakers, industry analysts, and agricultural practitioners about the state agricultural sector’s expected profitability and its main drivers.
