According to the latest Census of Agriculture, the Midwest is home to less than 10% of the country's farmers who identify as Hispanic. This makes it the region with the second-lowest Hispanic representation among farmers, behind only the Northeast.

Nationwide, Hispanic farmers total 112,379, representing only 3% of all U.S. farmers. The highest concentrations of Hispanic farmers are found in the South and Western states, where more than half and nearly four in 10 Hispanic farmers live, respectively.

In the Midwestern states, where more than 10,000 farmers who identify as Hispanic live, most of them are concentrated in Missouri, Kansas, Michigan and Illinois.
