National Maps

Each county is ranked from Extreme to None based on the total number of animals living on factory farms. Factory farms are operations confining 500+ head of beef cattle on feed, 500+ dairy cows, 1,000+ hogs, 100,000+ egg-laying hens or 500,000+ broiler (meat) chickens sold each year. For complete methodology, visit our issue brief, Factory Farm Nation: 2020 [1].
