FARM SECTOR ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

New Mexico Agricultural Statistics - 2013

9

INCOME

The total value of the agriculture sector output

from New Mexico totaled $4.07 billion up 8

percent from 2012. The value of livestock

production increased to $3.06 billion in 2013,

attributed to higher milk prices than 2012. Cattle

producers continued to sell off breeding herds due

to continuing drought conditions and high feed

prices. Crop value showed a large decline to $660

million, down 10 percent from a year earlier.

Revenues from forestry and services totaled $338

million in 2013, up 25 percent from the previous

year. After deductions for production expenses,

hired labor, and other economic factors, the state’s

net farm income totaled $1.32 up $265 million

from the previous year.

PRODUCTION EXPENSES

New Mexico farmers and ranchers purchased

$2.13 billion of inputs in 2013 to produce crops

and livestock. This was down slightly from the

previous year. As in earlier years, livestock feed

continued to be the largest purchase at $814

million, followed by livestock purchases of $474

million. Petroleum fuel and oil costs increased 10

percent to $137 million while repair and

maintenance of capital items cost farmers and

ranchers $134 million.

CASH RECEIPTS

New Mexico crop and livestock product sales in

2013 totaled nearly $3.8 billion, a 3.8 percent

increase from the previous year. Total cash

receipts from livestock products jumped in 2013 to

just over $3.1 billion. The number one cash

commodity for the state was cattle and calves;

many producers continued to reduce herd sizes due

to the drought. Milk followed as the number two

cash commodity. Total crop cash receipts

decreased to under $685 million. Hay was third in

the state in total cash receipts totaling $140

million, down from a year earlier. Pecan sales

increased to $137 million in 2013, at the fourth

largest cash commodity in the state.

The increase can be attributed to the second largest

crop in the state’s history. Chile peppers remained

the states number 5 commodity as cotton dropped

to the 9th

position. Onions followed at seventh in

the rankings. Corn for grain, and wheat were

again in the state’s top ten commodities.

GOVERNMENT PAYMENTS

Direct government payments to New Mexico

producers again increased to a total just over $115

million in 2013, up 18 percent from 2012

payments of $97.7 million. If ranked with cash

receipts, government payments would be our fifth

largest cash commodity. Conservation program

payments increased to $55.5 million. Ad Hoc and

Emergency Programs increased to over $44

million, up from $31 million a year earlier. Fixed

Direct payments were down almost 18 percent at

$12.3 million in 2013.

PRICES

Milk prices, at $18.80 per hundred weight (cwt),

increased from the previous year’s level of $17.40

per cwt. Cattle prices also increased to $1,190 per

head up 6.3 percent from a year earlier.

Alfalfa prices dropped slightly from the previous

year averaging $254 per ton. Continued drought

conditions left range and pastureland in very poor

condition , which kept steady demand for hay. All

hay decreased by $2 from the 2012 price of $249

to $247 per ton in 2013. Other hay prices

averaged $190 per ton in 2013, very close to the

2012 level.

Prices for corn, sorghum, cottonseed, peanuts,

chile peppers, and onions decreased in 2013.

Wheat, cotton, and pecans were the only crops

showing increases from a year earlier. The

average price for pecans increased to $1.90 for the

marketing season. Chile prices dropped from

2012 averaging $761 per ton.

Grazing Fees

As of 2013, approximately 39 percent of New Mexico's total

area of 77,667,840 acres is federal and state public trust land

administered by the United States Department of Interior

(USDI) Bureau of Land Management, the United States

Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, and the

New Mexico State Land Office. A majority of these public

lands are leased for livestock grazing.

For the years 1979-1985, fees for grazing on federal public

lands were determined by a formula established in the Public

Rangelands Improvement Act of 1978 (PRIA). The act

expired December 31, 1985. On February 14, 1986, in the

absence of Congressional action, the President, through

Executive Order 12548, indefinitely extended the PRIA

formula, subject to a few minor changes.

These minor changes included: (1) the Forage Value Index

would use the weighted average estimate of the annual rental

charge per head per month rather than Animal Unit Month,

(2) the Beef Cattle Price Index means the weighted average

annual selling price for beef cattle in the 11 western states,

and (3) the Prices Paid Index would reflect selected livestock

production costs in the western states. In addition, the

Executive Order specified the fee shall not be less than

$1.35 per Animal Unit Month; and those annual adjustments

would not exceed plus or minus 25 percent of the previous

year’s grazing fee.

Effective March 1988, the Secretary of Agriculture issued a

final ruling that established regulations for annually

determining federal grazing fees. The fee system now in

effect is the formula prescribed in the Executive Order of

February 1986 and, in most respects, is the same grazing fee

formula enacted by Congress in 1978. Grazing fees will be

based on a rate-per-head month.

A head month is a month's use and occupancy of range by

one animal, except for sheep or goats. A full head month's

fee is charged for a month of grazing by adult animals if the

grazing animal is weaned or 6 months of age or older at the

time of entering the federal lands or will become 12 months

of age during the permitted period of use. For fee purposes,

five sheep or goats are equivalent to one cow, bull, steer,

heifer, horse, or mule.

Grazing fee formula components are compiled by the USDA

Agricultural Statistics Board and furnished to USDI Bureau

of Land Management and the USDA Forest Service for

calculating the grazing fee each year.

Wyoming. Rates are per head month. Private fee grazing rates, for the prior year, are published by NASS-USDA in the January Agricultural Prices report. 2/ Private land grazing rates current year divided by base year times 100. 3/ Average for 12 months November-October prior to the fee year for 11 western states (see footnote 1). Average Beef Cattle Price Index for the November-

October period is published by NASS-USDA in the December Agricultural Prices report. 4/ Beef cattle price current year divided by base year times 100. 5/ Index of prices paid for beef cattle production inputs as percent of base year. The Prices Paid Index for Beef Cattle Production for the November-October

period are published by NASS-USDA in the December Agricultural Prices report. 6/ The grazing fee = base year fee (FVI + BCPI - PPI)/100. 2006 for example = $1.23 (400 + 413 - 686)/100 = $1.56 (Federal), per Executive Order, $1.35 is the

legal minimum. 7/ Source: New Mexico State Land Office. Data not available prior to 1988.

CATTLE AND CALVES New Mexico’s inventory of all cattle and calves

dropped significantly to 1,290,000 head as of

January 1, 2014 for the fourth year in a row due

to the ongoing drought. Milk cow inventory

increased slightly from 320,000 to 323,000 head.

Dairy producers retained 120,000 heifers for

replacement. Beef cow inventory decreased to

387,000 head, which was the lowest recorded

inventory. Ranchers held 70,000 heifers for beef

cow replacement. The number of steers

weighing 500 pounds or more increased to

90,000 head from 80,000. Bull inventory this

year came in at 35,000 head. Calves on hand

weighing less than 500 pounds, including both

beef and dairy calves, totaled 195,000 head. The

2013 calf crop was estimated at 560,000 head.

Gross income from cattle and calves totaled

$1,557 million in 2013, up slightly from the

previous year.

RANGE AND PASTURE FEED 2013

The reporting of range and pasture conditions

began in early April. Conditions were reported

as very poor to poor following a very dry winter.

These extremely dry conditions continued

through the months of April and May.

Rangeland moisture was nonexistent as ranchers

were supplemental feeding livestock. Range and

pasture conditions were 64 percent very poor, 27

percent poor, and only 7 percent reported as fair

in June. Topsoil moisture reported for mid June

was 75 percent very short, 24 percent short, and

1 percent adequate; this continued through the

month of June. July brought seasonal monsoon

rain, increasing the moisture and improving

range and pastures. By month’s end, soil

moisture was reported at 39 percent very short,

36 percent short, 22 percent adequate, and 3

percent surplus. The summer monsoon remained

active across western and northern New Mexico

into August and range conditions continued to

improve; most of the state saw temperatures

in the 90’s. By early September, range

conditions were reported as 23 percent very

poor, 38 percent poor, 25 percent fair, 13 percent

good, and 1 percent excellent. September

brought historic rain and flooding across the

state. Due to insufficient funding, there were no

reports in early October; however, by month’s

end, temperatures were dropping into the 30’s

and 40’s. Pasture land was in much better

condition than previous years as the night

temperatures slowed or stopped growth. By

early November, range and pasture conditions

had improved to 16 percent very poor, 26

percent poor, 44 percent fair, and 14 percent

good.

DAIRY Beginning inventory of milk cows was 323,000

head on January 1, 2014, up slightly from a year

earlier. The average number during 2013 was

also 323,000. Milk production was down

slightly from 8.1 billion pounds in 2012 to 8.06

billion pounds in 2013. Cash receipts from

marketing have increased 6.8 percent from the

previous year. New Mexico ended the year

ranked ninth in the nation in milk production.

SHEEP AND LAMBS Sheep and lamb inventory totaled 85,000 head

as of January 1, 2014, a decrease of 15 percent

from the 2013 inventory. The number of

breeding sheep was 73,000 head, a decrease of

13,000 head from 2013. Market sheep and

lambs decreased 2,000 head from the previous

year to 12,000 head. The 2013 lamb crop was

also dropped to 42,000 lambs. In 2013 wool was

sheared from 75,000 sheep and lambs,

producing 590,000 pounds. The value of wool

produced decreased to $797,000 as the average

price of wool decreased $0.65 per pound to

$1.35 per pound.
