Agricultural theft refers to the illegal act of stealing crops, livestock, or farming equipment from agricultural properties. This type of crime can significantly impact farmers' livelihoods and the overall food supply chain. Common targets include crops, tractors, and livestock, which can be sold for profit or used for personal gain. The motivations behind agricultural theft often include financial desperation or organized crime. Farmers may take preventive measures, such as installing security systems or using surveillance cameras, to protect their assets. Law enforcement agencies also work to combat this issue through increased patrols and community awareness programs.
