Colorado Annual Bulletin, 2020 1 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

I am pleased to introduce the 2020 Colorado Agricultural Statistics Bulletin, an annually anticipated and important information source for major crop, livestock and agricultural data in the state of Colorado. As a product of the USDA, the data on the following pages is available to all and recorded for the sole benefit of agriculture.

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 updating our state and county governments and the Colorado State University system about emerging crops, movement of crops, research and development needs, and considerations when drafting farm policy.

We at the Department are grateful to the collaboration of so many who work together to gather and provide the data in this report every year--thousands of Colorado agricultural producers, the USDA Mountain Region Field Office, and dozens of field and phone enumerators.

These statistics are a vital component of our mission at the Colorado Department Agriculture to support and advance the work and products of all our state’s invaluable ag producers, and I hope the data will serve as a useful and educational tool for you as well.

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 2020 Dear Friends of Agriculture: If any year could challenge the resilience of Colorado’s farmers and ranchers, this would be the one. Good information is crucial in times like these and whether it’s used to help write disaster programs or help make decisions going into the future, reliable statistics are invaluable. Therefore, I am pleased to present the 2020 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. Our agency strives to deliver timely, accurate and useful statistics that the agricultural industry depends on. On the following pages, you will find much of that information including acreage, production and economic data from 2019 and earlier at the state and county level. This information is used for marketing decisions, planning, research, insurance and disaster programs, and policy decisions. To the farmers and ranchers who took valuable time out of their busy schedules to provide the data needed to produce these statistics, thank you! This information would not be possible without you. 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 also 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 Emily Sierra of Berthoud, CO for the cover photograph, and a special thanks to the Colorado Department of Agriculture for covering the costs of printing this bulletin.

Sincerely,

William R. Meyer Director, Mountain Regional Field Office
