Fresh chile, beans, and onions may be among the first things that come to mind when thinking of New Mexico’s agriculture, however, the annual farming industry is much more diverse. New Mexico is the home of many farms that help provide for the entire country with an impact that reaches far. Successful growing seasons are a result of the hard-working farmers and the farms they work on.

Annual Farming in New Mexico

New Mexico is home to a large variety of growing crops, including corn, wheat, cotton, peanuts, and potatoes. The Land of Enchantment consistently leads the country in chile pepper and pecan production, producing approximately 30% of America’s total production of these crops.

Hay is the number one crop, with Alfalfa hay, in particular, being widely popular in New Mexico agriculture. More than 30% of the state’s production is exported. The hay is used for pasture, silage, and green chop significantly contributing to the state’s livestock industry, as food for cattle. New Mexico ranks in the top 10 states for cheese and milk production nationally.
