USDA NASS QuickStats — authoritative US agricultural statistics: crop yields, acreage, production, livestock inventory, and prices received. Filter by commodity (e.g. CORN, SOYBEANS, CATTLE), year (or year__GE/year__LE range), state (2-letter), county, statistic category (YIELD, PRODUCTION, AREA HARVESTED, PRICE RECEIVED), and aggregation level (NATIONAL/STATE/COUNTY). Returns normalized rows with value + unit. QuickStats caps results at 50,000 rows, so narrow broad queries (a 400 RESULT_TOO_LARGE tells you to add filters). Public-domain federal data.
/api/agriculture/statsPAYMENT-SIGNATURE.The stats API is a pay-per-call agriculture endpoint built for AI agents and autonomous software. USDA NASS QuickStats — authoritative US agricultural statistics: crop yields, acreage, production, livestock inventory, and prices received.
There is no signup and no API key. An agent (or any HTTP client) hits the endpoint, receives an x402 "402 Payment Required" challenge, signs a sub-cent USDC payment on Base or Solana, and retries — the data comes back on the paid request. That makes it a drop-in stats data source for an agent tool-use loop, an MCP host, or a backend that needs agriculture data on demand without onboarding to yet another vendor portal.
