FARM SECTOR ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
New Mexico Agricultural Statistics - 2013
9
INCOME
The total value of the agriculture sector output
from New Mexico totaled $4.07 billion up 8
percent from 2012. The value of livestock
production increased to $3.06 billion in 2013,
attributed to higher milk prices than 2012. Cattle
producers continued to sell off breeding herds due
to continuing drought conditions and high feed
prices. Crop value showed a large decline to $660
million, down 10 percent from a year earlier.
Revenues from forestry and services totaled $338
million in 2013, up 25 percent from the previous
year. After deductions for production expenses,
hired labor, and other economic factors, the state’s
net farm income totaled $1.32 up $265 million
from the previous year.
PRODUCTION EXPENSES
New Mexico farmers and ranchers purchased
$2.13 billion of inputs in 2013 to produce crops
and livestock. This was down slightly from the
previous year. As in earlier years, livestock feed
continued to be the largest purchase at $814
million, followed by livestock purchases of $474
million. Petroleum fuel and oil costs increased 10
percent to $137 million while repair and
maintenance of capital items cost farmers and
ranchers $134 million.
CASH RECEIPTS
New Mexico crop and livestock product sales in
2013 totaled nearly $3.8 billion, a 3.8 percent
increase from the previous year. Total cash
receipts from livestock products jumped in 2013 to
just over $3.1 billion. The number one cash
commodity for the state was cattle and calves;
many producers continued to reduce herd sizes due
to the drought. Milk followed as the number two
cash commodity. Total crop cash receipts
decreased to under $685 million. Hay was third in
the state in total cash receipts totaling $140
million, down from a year earlier. Pecan sales
increased to $137 million in 2013, at the fourth
largest cash commodity in the state.
The increase can be attributed to the second largest
crop in the state’s history. Chile peppers remained
the states number 5 commodity as cotton dropped
to the 9th
position. Onions followed at seventh in
the rankings. Corn for grain, and wheat were
again in the state’s top ten commodities.
GOVERNMENT PAYMENTS
Direct government payments to New Mexico
producers again increased to a total just over $115
million in 2013, up 18 percent from 2012
payments of $97.7 million. If ranked with cash
receipts, government payments would be our fifth
largest cash commodity. Conservation program
payments increased to $55.5 million. Ad Hoc and
Emergency Programs increased to over $44
million, up from $31 million a year earlier. Fixed
Direct payments were down almost 18 percent at
$12.3 million in 2013.
PRICES
Milk prices, at $18.80 per hundred weight (cwt),
increased from the previous year’s level of $17.40
per cwt. Cattle prices also increased to $1,190 per
head up 6.3 percent from a year earlier.
Alfalfa prices dropped slightly from the previous
year averaging $254 per ton. Continued drought
conditions left range and pastureland in very poor
condition , which kept steady demand for hay. All
hay decreased by $2 from the 2012 price of $249
to $247 per ton in 2013. Other hay prices
averaged $190 per ton in 2013, very close to the
2012 level.
Prices for corn, sorghum, cottonseed, peanuts,
chile peppers, and onions decreased in 2013.
Wheat, cotton, and pecans were the only crops
showing increases from a year earlier. The
average price for pecans increased to $1.90 for the
marketing season. Chile prices dropped from

Grazing Fees
As of 2013, approximately 39 percent of New Mexico's total
area of 77,667,840 acres is federal and state public trust land
administered by the United States Department of Interior
(USDI) Bureau of Land Management, the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, and the
New Mexico State Land Office. A majority of these public
lands are leased for livestock grazing.
For the years 1979-1985, fees for grazing on federal public
lands were determined by a formula established in the Public
Rangelands Improvement Act of 1978 (PRIA). The act
expired December 31, 1985. On February 14, 1986, in the
absence of Congressional action, the President, through
Executive Order 12548, indefinitely extended the PRIA
formula, subject to a few minor changes.
These minor changes included: (1) the Forage Value Index
would use the weighted average estimate of the annual rental
charge per head per month rather than Animal Unit Month,
(2) the Beef Cattle Price Index means the weighted average
annual selling price for beef cattle in the 11 western states,
and (3) the Prices Paid Index would reflect selected livestock
production costs in the western states. In addition, the
Executive Order specified the fee shall not be less than
$1.35 per Animal Unit Month; and those annual adjustments
would not exceed plus or minus 25 percent of the previous
year’s grazing fee.
Effective March 1988, the Secretary of Agriculture issued a
final ruling that established regulations for annually
determining federal grazing fees. The fee system now in
effect is the formula prescribed in the Executive Order of
February 1986 and, in most respects, is the same grazing fee
formula enacted by Congress in 1978. Grazing fees will be
based on a rate-per-head month.
A head month is a month's use and occupancy of range by
one animal, except for sheep or goats. A full head month's
fee is charged for a month of grazing by adult animals if the
grazing animal is weaned or 6 months of age or older at the
time of entering the federal lands or will become 12 months
of age during the permitted period of use. For fee purposes,
five sheep or goats are equivalent to one cow, bull, steer,
heifer, horse, or mule.
Grazing fee formula components are compiled by the USDA
Agricultural Statistics Board and furnished to USDI Bureau
of Land Management and the USDA Forest Service for
calculating the grazing fee each year.

Wyoming. Rates are per head month. Private fee grazing rates, for the prior year, are published by NASS-USDA in the January Agricultural Prices report. 2/ Private land grazing rates current year divided by base year times 100. 3/ Average for 12 months November-October prior to the fee year for 11 western states (see footnote 1). Average Beef Cattle Price Index for the November-
October period is published by NASS-USDA in the December Agricultural Prices report. 4/ Beef cattle price current year divided by base year times 100. 5/ Index of prices paid for beef cattle production inputs as percent of base year. The Prices Paid Index for Beef Cattle Production for the November-October
period are published by NASS-USDA in the December Agricultural Prices report. 6/ The grazing fee = base year fee (FVI + BCPI - PPI)/100. 2006 for example = $1.23 (400 + 413 - 686)/100 = $1.56 (Federal), per Executive Order, $1.35 is the
legal minimum. 7/ Source: New Mexico State Land Office. Data not available prior to 1988.

CATTLE AND CALVES New Mexico’s inventory of all cattle and calves
dropped significantly to 1,290,000 head as of
January 1, 2014 for the fourth year in a row due
to the ongoing drought. Milk cow inventory
increased slightly from 320,000 to 323,000 head.
Dairy producers retained 120,000 heifers for
replacement. Beef cow inventory decreased to
387,000 head, which was the lowest recorded
inventory. Ranchers held 70,000 heifers for beef
cow replacement. The number of steers
weighing 500 pounds or more increased to
90,000 head from 80,000. Bull inventory this
year came in at 35,000 head. Calves on hand
weighing less than 500 pounds, including both
beef and dairy calves, totaled 195,000 head. The
2013 calf crop was estimated at 560,000 head.
Gross income from cattle and calves totaled
$1,557 million in 2013, up slightly from the
previous year.
RANGE AND PASTURE FEED 2013
The reporting of range and pasture conditions
began in early April. Conditions were reported
as very poor to poor following a very dry winter.
These extremely dry conditions continued
through the months of April and May.
Rangeland moisture was nonexistent as ranchers
were supplemental feeding livestock. Range and
pasture conditions were 64 percent very poor, 27
percent poor, and only 7 percent reported as fair
in June. Topsoil moisture reported for mid June
was 75 percent very short, 24 percent short, and
1 percent adequate; this continued through the
month of June. July brought seasonal monsoon
rain, increasing the moisture and improving
range and pastures. By month’s end, soil
moisture was reported at 39 percent very short,
36 percent short, 22 percent adequate, and 3
percent surplus. The summer monsoon remained
active across western and northern New Mexico
into August and range conditions continued to
improve; most of the state saw temperatures
in the 90’s. By early September, range
conditions were reported as 23 percent very
poor, 38 percent poor, 25 percent fair, 13 percent
good, and 1 percent excellent. September
brought historic rain and flooding across the
state. Due to insufficient funding, there were no
reports in early October; however, by month’s
end, temperatures were dropping into the 30’s
and 40’s. Pasture land was in much better
condition than previous years as the night
temperatures slowed or stopped growth. By
early November, range and pasture conditions
had improved to 16 percent very poor, 26
percent poor, 44 percent fair, and 14 percent
good.
DAIRY Beginning inventory of milk cows was 323,000
head on January 1, 2014, up slightly from a year
earlier. The average number during 2013 was
also 323,000. Milk production was down
slightly from 8.1 billion pounds in 2012 to 8.06
billion pounds in 2013. Cash receipts from
marketing have increased 6.8 percent from the
previous year. New Mexico ended the year
ranked ninth in the nation in milk production.
SHEEP AND LAMBS Sheep and lamb inventory totaled 85,000 head
as of January 1, 2014, a decrease of 15 percent
from the 2013 inventory. The number of
breeding sheep was 73,000 head, a decrease of
13,000 head from 2013. Market sheep and
lambs decreased 2,000 head from the previous
year to 12,000 head. The 2013 lamb crop was
also dropped to 42,000 lambs. In 2013 wool was
sheared from 75,000 sheep and lambs,
producing 590,000 pounds. The value of wool
produced decreased to $797,000 as the average
price of wool decreased $0.65 per pound to
$1.35 per pound.
