Dear Farmers, Ranchers, and Others Interested in Wyoming Agriculture,

The "2018 Wyoming Agricultural Statistics" bulletin, featuring most of the published agricultural data for 2017, is now online. NASS published the first Wyoming cattle estimates in 1867, 23 years before Wyoming became a state. Happy 150th birthday Wyoming!

I would like to thank all of the farmers, ranchers, agribusinesses, state and federal agency staff, and others in the Wyoming agricultural industry for their efforts and contributions to this publication. Whether you provided, collected, analyzed, or compiled this data, your efforts produce the best estimates possible for Wyoming agriculture.

Highlighted on the cover this year is winter wheat. Wyoming farmers planted 135,000 acres of winter wheat in 2017, harvested 105,000 acres for grain with a yield of 28 bushels per acre, and produced a total of 2,940,000 bushels. Wyoming ranked 32nd amongst all 50 states for winter wheat production. Farmers received an average of $3.75 per bushel and total value of production of $11,025,000.

The majority of winter wheat grown in Wyoming is Hard Red Winter Wheat and is grown for grain in the southeast corner of the state. The crop is planted in September or early October and is harvested beginning in early-July. There is some Soft White Wheat and a few fields of Hard Red Spring wheat grown for grain in northern counties.

This book is a compilation of the Wyoming data included in over 400 reports published each year by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). A calendar showing the report release dates can be found in the back of this publication and on the NASS website at:

Wyoming farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses voluntarily provide their individual information which is then summarized to the National, State, and County level. In addition to the information in this bulletin, a vast amount of detailed State and County information, both historic and current, about Wyoming agriculture is available from the multitude of annual reports we publish and the Census of Agriculture. NASS also publishes the Cropland Data Layer each year and weekly Vegetative maps in free and easy-to-use GIS tools known as CropScape and VegScape. The 2017 Census of Agriculture, summarizing about 1 million variables of data about Wyoming agriculture, will also be published in February 2019.

Sincerely,

Rhonda Brandt Wyoming State Statistician
