I am pleased to introduce the 2019 Colorado Agricultural Statistics Bulletin, an invaluable source of information for all major crop, livestock and related agricultural data in the state of Colorado. As a product of the USDA, the data on the following pages is unbiased, available to all and recorded for the sole benefit of agriculture and rural America. The information compiled in this bulletin informs the Colorado Department of Agriculture and our state’s farmers and ranchers about detailed crop values and yields, livestock inventory and production, economic impacts and much more. It also plays a critical role in educating our state and county governments and the Colorado State University system about emerging crops, movement of crops, where research may be needed, and considerations when drafting farm policy. We deeply appreciate the thousands of ag producers across our state and USDA’s Mountain Region Field Office and its 35 field and phone enumerators who work together to provide the data on these pages every year, as well as the larger five-year Census of Agriculture. The 2017 Ag Census was released earlier this summer and is the only source of consistent, comparable, and detailed agricultural data for every county in the United States. At the Colorado Department of Agriculture, we are committed to supporting and advancing the work and products of all our state’s producers. These statistics are a vital component of that effort. I encourage you to keep this bulletin handy, and to take full advantage of the many resources available from the USDA and our department.
Kate Greenberg Colorado Commissioner of Agriculture 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.

Cooperating with the Region’s Departments of Agriculture
October 2019 Dear Friends of Agriculture: In challenging environments like this year, and in any year, good information is needed to make good decisions. Therefore, I am pleased to present the 2019 Colorado Agricultural Statistics Bulletin made available through the Mountain Regional Field Office of USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service in cooperation with the Colorado State Department of Agriculture. The estimates available in this bulletin and what we publish throughout the year are valuable tools for the producer and the agricultural industry to make sound decisions. This information is used for marketing decisions, planning, research, insurance and disaster programs, and policy decisions. 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 Caleigh Payne of Alamosa, CO for the cover photography, and a special thanks to the Colorado Department of Agriculture for covering the costs of printing this bulletin. Finally, USDA NASS released the 2017 Census of Agriculture in April of this year. The Census of Agriculture is the most comprehensive set of county data in the nation. I want to thank all the farmers and ranchers who helped provide this valuable data. The Census of Agriculture information is used extensively by farmers and ranchers, land grant universities, USDA Agencies, local, state, and federal policy makers to make good decisions regarding programs for rural America. Please visit www.agcensus.usda.gov to see all the products and information available.
Sincerely,
William R. Meyer Director, Mountain Regional Field Office

National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Reports and Data The NASS Internet homepage provides easy access to the wide range of reports, data and general information published throughout the year. All data in this bulletin is published at an earlier date and can be found most quickly via the Internet.
NASS Homepage – http://www.nass.usda.gov
Colorado Homepage – https://www.nass.usda.gov/Statistics_by_State/Colorado/index.php
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.
