U.S. farm bankruptcies increased 46 percent year-over-year in 2025 to 315 filings, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation. The Midwest was one of the regions hardest hit by farm bankruptcies in 2025.

Farm bankruptcy filings increased roughly 70 percent in the Midwest in 2025, the American Farm Bureau Federation reported. Farm bankruptcy filings increased roughly 70 percent in the Southeast in 2025, per the same data.

The national total reached exactly 315 filings for the full year. @unusual_whales reported that the 46 percent jump reflected broader challenges across American agriculture, with both the Midwest and Southeast showing the steepest regional rises at roughly 70 percent each. Those two regions accounted for a disproportionate share of the increase.

The American Farm Bureau Federation figures show the 315 filings marked a significant escalation from the prior year, when the implied total was approximately 216 cases before the 46 percent rise.
