Dear Friends,
I am pleased to introduce the 2017 Colorado Agricultural Statistics Bulletin. The National Agricultural Statistics Services (NASS) provides the most thorough data regarding the value and importance of agriculture to our state.
This book not only provides a current snapshot of Colorado’s agricultural industry, but helps shape the future. Producers, legislators, and decision makers use this information to inform issues facing today’s ag community.
As producers, we must make decisions every year regarding what to plant and how many cattle to buy or sell, and also try to anticipate where the markets will land. This book is a powerful resource when making those decisions.
The Colorado Department of Agriculture is dedicated to promoting agriculture on the local, state, national, and global levels and considers these statistics a valuable resource in that effort.
Our Department offers a variety of resources to help Colorado’s agriculture industry, and I encourage you to visit www.colorado.gov/ag to learn more.
Thank you NASS and all of the farmers and ranchers whose valuable time and input make this book possible.
Sincerely,
Don Brown Commissioner of Agriculture
The Colorado Agricultural Statistics publication is compiled by the National Agricultural Statistics Service, which is an agency within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in cooperation with the Colorado Department of Agriculture.

4 Colorado Annual Bulletin, 2017 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
November 2017
Dear Friends of Agriculture, Accurate information regarding the agricultural industry in Colorado is vitally important. In 2016 net farm income for Colorado agricultural producers totaled just over $1.2 billion and cash receipts totaled nearly $6.3 billion. These figures remind us how important agriculture is as part of Colorado’s economy. These figures also remind us of the importance and dedication of Colorado farmers and ranchers. With that, I am pleased to present the 2017 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 Laura Harwood for the cover photography, and a special thanks to the Colorado Department of Agriculture for covering the costs of printing this bulletin. Sincerely,
William Meyer Director USDA NASS Mountain Regional Field Office

Through a cooperative agreement with Cornell University, the Albert R. Mann Library distributes NASS, Economic Research Service (ERS), and World Agricultural Outlook Board (WAOB) periodicals and data files via the USDA Economics and Statistics System on a web server. Over 500 NASS reports annually are available free of charge. All NASS reports along with WAOB’s World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) are available electronically seconds after release. A calendar of scheduled releases is available from the NASS Homepage by clicking on Publications. The next screen is the Reports Calendar where you can choose the year and month of interest.
