The U.S. Farm Report (USFR) is a weekly syndicated United States television news program focused on agriculture, presented in magazine format, which has a focus on agriculture and agribusiness.

USFR is currently hosted by Tyne Morgan and is based in South Bend, Indiana, along with its daily companion series, AgDay. The program is owned by Farm Journal Media, a Philadelphia-based company that owns a number of agricultural media properties including Farm Journal magazine.

Streaming full USFR episodes are available on the station's web site.

Each week, two separate half-hour versions of USFR are produced, each with a different focus. Television stations can air either one of the half-hour shows as a stand-alone program or air both shows back-to-back as a single one-hour program. Most stations air the full-hour show.[1]

In 2009, RFD-TV picked up the show, and airs the program twice weekly, on Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons. Orion Samuelson, the original host of USFR, [2] had a longtime working relationship with RFD-TV even before the move of USFR. He later moved to a competing program with a similar format, This Week in Agribusiness, which airs on many of the same stations as USFR but is produced by competing farm newspaper Farm Progress; he eventually retired from that position in 2020.[3]
