Crop Services in the US Industry Data and Analysis
The US crop services industry faces intensified contraction through 2025, as lower crop prices and heightened market uncertainty dampen farmer demand for services. Over the past five years, significant declines in corn, wheat and cotton prices, combined with extreme weather disruptions, have forced service providers to contend with minimal revenue growth and shrinking profit. Providers have responded to depressed market activity and climate-driven volatility by deferring purchases, controlling costs and aggressively managing their workforce. While the organic crop segment attracted attention, the overall market remains challenged by stringent regulations and high certification barriers. Throughout this period, the industry’s average profit share fell to 6.1%. Industry revenue contracted at a -2.0% CAGR between 2020 and 2025, with revenue falling 0.5% in 2025 to $32.4 billion.
