Colorado Farming

 

Early morning springtime scenic landscape view of a red barn and tractor with the majestic Rocky Mountains front range towering in the background and a view of the Twin Peaks Mt Meeker 13,911 feet and Longs Peak 14,256 feet.   Colorado is home to towering mountains and flat plains. Soils in the eastern plains regions and the valley of the western mountains are the most fertile in the nation.

By far, cattle and calves are the most important commodities to the state of Colorado. With over 60% of the state’s total agricultural receipts provided by cattle and calves. Dairy products are also an important Colorado product, with the production of hogs, sheep and lambs, and eggs contributing.

The most important commodities within the crop group are corn for grain and greenhouse and nursery products. Wheat and hay are also important. Potatoes complete the list of Colorado’s top five crops.
