Minnesota vs. the Nation: A Power BI Look at U.S. Agriculture Trends

Agriculture is a cornerstone of the U.S. economy, shaping communities, fueling exports, and feeding the nation. From California’s fruit and vegetable powerhouse to Texas’s vast cattle operations, each state contributes uniquely to America’s agricultural output.

To unpack this complexity, we’ve developed an interactive Power BI dashboard that compares Minnesota’s agricultural profile with five of the nation's leading ag states: California, Iowa, Texas, Nebraska, and Illinois. This tool offers a clear, data-driven view of state-by-state performance — revealing which commodities lead the way, how production varies regionally, and where Minnesota fits within the broader national landscape.

Whether you're a researcher, policymaker, agribusiness leader, or simply curious about U.S. agriculture, this dashboard is designed to inform your understanding and spark meaningful insights.

This dashboard is just one example of how data can illuminate the bigger picture — helping us understand where we are, how we compare, and where we might go next.
