It’s a bittersweet time for football fans as the Super Bowl matchup is set, but this also means the football season is nearly over.

The Kansas City Chiefs, representing the American Football Conference, and the San Francisco 49ers, champions of the National Football Conference, will meet in Super Bowl LVIII (58) at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, N.V., on Sunday, Feb. 11.

As the game draws nearer, analysts and armchair quarterbacks alike will weigh in on which factors and storylines within the game.

Will Taylor Swift fuel Travis Kelce and the Chiefs to another Vince Lombardi trophy? Can the 49ers avenge their most recent Super Bowl loss which came at the hands of the Chiefs in February 2020?

Farms.com, however, will use 2022 data from the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service to determine the winner.

The breakdown will feature Missouri vs. California.

Video: Legacies of the Land

Every farm has a story. Together, they tell the story of America. ???? Watch the full Legacies of the Land film — AGCO's tribute to the families who've fed and shaped America for 250 years.

From Missouri to Kentucky to Idaho, three multi-generational farming families — Lehenbauer Farms of Palmyra, Missouri; Matthews Land & Cattle of Oakley, Idaho; and Riney Dairy of Springfield, Kentucky — share what it means to live, work and pass down a life on the land. Their stories are different. The legacy is shared.

"Every farming family has a story worth telling, rooted in resilience, stewardship and love for the land." — Eric Hansotia, AGCO Chairman, President & CEO
