Today, Minnesota’s agriculture sector provides more than 340,000 jobs for the state and creates $75 billion in economic activity. In addition to our 81,000 farms, Minnesota has nearly 1,000 agricultural and food companies. Seven of Minnesota’s top 20 public companies have roots in the farm and food sector, and Minnesota has several privately held firms with an agricultural focus on Forbes’ List of America’s Largest Private Companies. As we look toward a future in which the world’s food needs are expected to double by 2050, it becomes clear that our farm and food sector will only become more important and more prominent in the years to come. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s mission is to enhance Minnesotans’ quality of life by ensuring the integrity of our food supply, the health of our environment, and the strength of our agricultural economy. As part of that mission, the department helps produce the annual Minnesota Agricultural Statistics book. This book provides a range of high-quality information on trends in crop and livestock production, farm income and other data. This accurate information is vital for decision-makers across the agricultural sector. I want to take this opportunity to thank the Minnesota farmers and agri-businesses who respond to the surveys by the Agricultural Statistics Service. This valuable book is possible only through their ongoing cooperation and support. Dave Frederickson, Commissioner Minnesota Department of Agriculture The 2012 Minnesota Agricultural Statistics bulletin presents the statistics for 2011 and 2012 from the United States Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service in cooperation with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. This publication documents Minnesota’s farmers’ efforts in feeding the nation and the world. Production from our farmers has Minnesota ranked in the top ten leading states for several commodities. Agriculture plays a key role in the Minnesota economy and helps make Minnesota a great place to live and grow. These statistics provide a voice for farmers and also provide facts to build for the future of agriculture. This is also true for the 2012 Census of Agriculture providing the voice and the future for farmers and agriculture. I say “Thank you” to the farmers and agribusiness people and County FAC members who participate in USDA NASS surveys. Your participation allows your voice to be heard and your future to be shaped on facts for all agriculture. As always, USDA NASS counts agriculture because “Agriculture Counts”!
