This pamphlet summarizes information from several sources. The 2017 Oklahoma Agriculture Statistics Bulletin, available at www.nass.usda.gov/ok, contains more detailed statistics about agricultural production, while Contribution of Agriculture to Oklahoma’s Economy: 2015 available at www.agecon.okstate.edu/econimpact provides more information about the economic contribution of the industry to the state’s economy.

”Thank you to OSU and the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service for their assistance in compiling this information bulletin. We are truly blessed to live in such an agriculturally rich state. Agriculture is a major economic force in Oklahoma that grows more than $7 billion of new crop and live-stock every year. I hope this information helps you share Oklahoma’s agri-cultural success story with others.”
