Dear Friends,
I am pleased to introduce the 2018 Colorado Agricultural Statistics Bulletin.
Thank you for your interest in our state’s agriculture industry. The information in this
bulletin represents the work of Colorado’s dedicated farmers and ranchers. The decisions that they make affect our businesses, the food system, and our communities. It is vital that those decisions are based on solid and comprehensive data.
As a third generation Yuma County farmer, I truly believe our farmers and ranchers are the
foundation to our great state and country. That success is built on statistics-driven information to make the best informed decisions for our own operations, which helps build a stronger future for us all.
Agriculture is one of the top three industries in Colorado, provides over $40 billion to the state economy, and employs more than 170,000 people across the state; and CDA is proud to be a part of such an important industry.
The Colorado Department of Agriculture is dedicated to promoting agriculture on the local,
state, national, and global levels and considers these statistics a valuable component of that effort. Our department offers a variety of resources to help Colorado’s agricultural industry, and I encourage you to visit www.colorado.gov/ag to learn more.
I would like to thank the National Agricultural Statistics Service and all of the farmers and ranchers whose cooperation makes the book possible.
Sincerely,
Don Brown Commissioner
The Colorado Agricultural Statistics Bulletin is compiled by the National Agricultural Statistics Service, Mountain Region Field Office, which is an agency within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in cooperation with the Colorado Department of Agriculture.

September 2018
Dear Friends of Agriculture, Accurate information regarding the agricultural industry in Colorado is so important. This year highlights the need for good information given the weather effects in the state and large swings in commodity prices. In 2017 net farm income for Colorado agricultural producers totaled just over $900 million and cash receipts totaled nearly $6.8 billion, again showing the importance of agriculture in Colorado’s economy. The data we collect and publish are valuable tools in letting people make decisions regarding marketing, disaster programs, and research efforts, especially in years like this. With that, I am pleased to present the 2018 Colorado Agricultural Statistics Bulletin made available through the Mountain Regional Field Office of USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service in cooperation with the Colorado Department of Agriculture. This bulletin is a showcase for the diversity and value of agriculture across the state. In addition, much of the information in this bulletin and the information we have available throughout the year are used for sound decision making in the agricultural sector – good decisions are made by having good information. Thank you to the farmers and ranchers for taking time out of their busy schedules to provide the data needed to produce these statistics. I also want to thank all the agribusinesses, extension educators and USDA's Farm Service Agency for contributing information for this bulletin and providing support for our programs. This report would not be possible without the dedicated effort of field and telephone interviewers who collect this data and the office staff that compiles it. I would like to thank Brian Biesemeier for the cover photography, and a special thanks to the Colorado Department of Agriculture for covering the costs of printing this bulletin. Finally, a special thanks to everyone who helped with the Census of Agriculture. The Census of Agriculture is the most comprehensive set of county data in the nation. It is scheduled to be released in February of 2019. Sincerely,
William Meyer Director USDA NASS Mountain Regional Field Office
