The market value of agricultural products sold "represents the gross market value before taxes and production expenses of all agricultural products sold...regardless of who received the payment. It is equivalent to total sales."

In Clearwater in 2017:

the total market value of all agricultural products sold was $8,100,800,
the average market value per farm of all agricultural products sold was $25,964,
the total market value of all crop products sold was $3,792,828,
the total market value of all livestock, poultry, and their products sold was $4,307,972, and
the average market value per farm of all agricultural products sold decreased by 40 percent between 2007 and 2017.

Note: The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of inflation. Here we adjusted dollar values by the CPI-U, which is the most commonly used CPI. Using the CPI to put dollar values in “real” terms makes it easier to see “inflation-free” change over time. Our base year is 2021, which means all dollar values are in terms of 2021 dollars.
