Wisconsin 2015 Agricultural Statistics
2015 Wisconsin Agricultural Statistics
The USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Wisconsin Field Office is proud to present 2015 edition of Wisconsin Agricultural Statistics. This publication, a collaborative effort with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATCP), is published annually and highlights agriculture as Wisconsin’s number one industry. This statistical profile of Wisconsin’s agriculture not only includes state level information but also information at the county level.
Throughout this publication you will find many interesting statistics about Wisconsin’s diverse and dynamic agriculture industry. I would like to highlight the fact that in the 2014 ranking of states, Wisconsin ranked number one in American cheese, cheddar cheese and total cheese production, dry whey for human consumption, milk goat inventory, mink pelts produced, corn harvested for silage, snap beans and carrots for processing, and cranberry production. Wisconsin ranked number two in mozzarella and total Italian cheese production, milk production and milk cow inventory.
Publication and dissemination of agricultural statistics is only possible with cooperation of farmers, agribusiness, commodity groups, and countless others who gave their valuable time to provide the information for the content within this publication. Without their cooperation and support in providing timely and accurate data, this information would not be available to the agricultural community in Wisconsin.
I also want to thank our help from the National Association of State Department of Agriculture enumerators for their outstanding work in collecting and providing quality agriculture statistics for Wisconsin. In addition, the Wisconsin Field Office has a dedicated staff that helped put this publication together. Everyone involved is very committed to the work they do and I am thankful for their dedication to Wisconsin agriculture.
I hope you find this information beneficial for your agricultural interests. Throughout the year, NASS releases many other new reports and they are posted at www.nass.usda.gov. Please contact me anytime with your comments, questions, or requests for assistance.
Wisconsin 2015 Agricultural Statistics
Secretary
Greetings on behalf of the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.
2014 will be a year to remember by the agricultural community. Wisconsin agriculture set a record in 2014 for net farm income, $4 billion strong.
When dairy farmers think back to 2014, they will recall the high milk prices. What made the year even more remarkable was that these record high milk prices were coupled with lower feed costs. The state’s approximately 10,000 dairy farmers have been able to use these margins to pay down debts, invest in their farms and prepare for transition.
With a record milk production of 27.8 billion pounds of milk in 2014, Wisconsin’s dairy processors were able to maintain their leadership in cheese production. Specialty cheeses accounted for 23% of Wisconsin’s total cheese production in 2014.
Even while corn and soybean prices were lower than we’d like to see, Wisconsin farmers still generally fared better than their colleagues across the U.S. Wisconsin vegetable farmers continued to grow tons of potatoes, snap beans, carrots and more to maintain its position as a vegetable powerhouse.
Consumers around the world continue to appreciate the quality and bounty of Wisconsin’s agriculture products. In 2014, Wisconsin exported more than $3.6 billion worth of agricultural products to more than 145 countries. This was a record for the state and the fifth consecutive year that Wisconsin has been able to boast an increase in agricultural exports.
This publication presents the facts. Use these statistics to learn about the diversity of Wisconsin agriculture, from our grains to our fur skins. Cite this source when you are discussing our state’s livestock farms or our leadership in fruit production. One in nine people in Wisconsin work in a job related to agriculture.
This information is only available due to the many surveys and reports that are collected annually by the National Agricultural Statistics Service. Thank you to all those who supply the information, evaluate the numbers and share the results.
Each year brings its own challenges and own opportunities. Let’s remember the highlights of 2014 as we look forward to the future.

2 Wisconsin 2015 Agricultural Statistics
Wisconsin Agriculture and Economics
Wisconsin cash receipts from farm marketings totaled $12.9 billion in 2014, a 7 percent increase from 2013. Receipts from livestock, dairy, and poultry comprised 73 percent of the total marketings of all commodities, compared to 66 percent the previous year. Milk sales totaled $6.75 billion in 2014, with record high milk prices driving a 22 percent increase over the previous year’s total. During the same period sales of meat animals rose 18 percent, poultry sales jumped 10 percent, and miscellaneous livestock sales fell 5 percent.
In 2014, cash receipts for all Wisconsin crops totaled $3.48 billion, down 16 percent from 2013. Sales of feed crops fell 18 percent from 2013 due to depressed commodity prices. Corn sales were down 20 percent, to $1.45 billion in 2014. Soybean receipts, at $758 million, were down 13 percent. Total vegetable marketings decreased 18 percent, with steep declines in the major processing vegetables but a 48 percent increase in receipts for dry beans. Fruit and nut receipts were down 20 percent overall, with cranberries falling by 27 percent while apples climbed 33 percent.
Wisconsin farm production expenditures totaled $13.0 billion in 2014, up 13.2 percent from $11.5 billion in 2013. Feed expenses rose 14.1 percent to $2.35 billion. This represented the largest single production expense for Wisconsin farmers in 2014, accounting for 18.0 percent of the total. Farm services were the second largest expense, totaling $1.62 billion and 12.4 percent of the total. This was up 14.9 percent from 2013. The largest percentage increases were for miscellaneous capital expenses (up 250 percent) and farm improvements and construction (up 40.5 percent). Expenditures per Wisconsin farm averaged $188,913 in 2014, 1.4 percent less than the national average of $191,500 per farm.
In 2014, the total number of agricultural land sales in Wisconsin decreased and the value of land sold increased. The average value of all agricultural land sold rose 12 percent, to $5,428 per acre. Land continuing in agricultural use was up 13 percent to $5,407 per acre, while land being diverted to other uses fell 12 percent to $5,846 per acre. The East Central, South Central and Southeast districts continued to have the highest prices overall. However, there were several reports of land being sold for frac sand mining which drove up prices of land being diverted to other uses in the Northwest and West Central regions. The total number of transactions fell to 1,628 in 2014. The number of transactions where the land continued in agricultural use fell by 306 and there were 19 more transactions where the land was diverted to other uses than in 2013. The total number of acres sold fell 16 percent to 102,136.
There were 69,000 farms in Wisconsin in 2014, down 800 from 2013. The number of farms with sales of $500,000 to $999,999 increased slightly and the number of farms with sales over $1,000,000 was unchanged. The number of farms with sales of $1,000 to 9,999, $10,000 to $99,999, $100,000 to $249,999, and $250,000 to $499,999 all decreased slightly. Land in farms totaled 14.5 million acres, down 100,000 acres from 2014. The average size of a Wisconsin farm increased 1 acre to 210 acres.

Crops As the 2014 growing season opened, Wisconsin was still feeling the effects of one of the coldest winters on record, with deep and persistent snow cover, greater than normal frost depths, and near-record high ice coverage on lakes and rivers. Additional rain and snow kept spring tillage and planting activities behind normal during April, though progress was persistently ahead of 2013’s record late planting season. Waterlogged soils dried out slowly throughout May and early June, allowing fieldwork to accelerate. Spring tillage reached 97 percent complete on June 15, only 1 percent behind the 5 year average. Heavy rains during the week of June 22 caused topsoil moistures to peak for the season at 39 percent surplus statewide. Late July and early August saw an extended period of dry, cool weather, which allowed producers to catch up on spraying and midseason fieldwork but slowed crop progress. Frequent rains in late August meant a return of muddy conditions, which persisted throughout autumn. The first frosts were reported the week of September 15, though a widespread frost held off until the week of October 6. The northern part of the state also received a record early snowfall on October 4. Late maturity, high grain moistures, and wet fields caused harvest activities to progress slowly during October, with the waterlogged northeast persistently behind the rest of the state. In mid-November, a major snow storm followed by two weeks of very cold temperatures halted tillage for much of the state. Harvest activities dragged on into mid-December, but snow cover and adverse weather made combining difficult and prevented the harvest of some fields altogether.
Statewide, temperatures from June to September were 0.5 degrees below normal in 2014, compared to 0.4 degrees above normal in 2013. June was the only month with above normal temperatures, averaging 1.7 degrees above normal. May and August had normal temperatures, while the remaining months had below normal temperatures. The growing season month with the greatest departure from normal was April, which averaged 4.3 degrees below normal. Temperatures for January through March ranged from 9.0 to 12.3 degrees below normal and November averaged 7.7 degrees below normal.
Precipitation totals for April through September were above normal across the state, with a statewide total of 27.13 inches. This was 3.30 inches above the total for 2013 and 4.70 inches above normal. Total precipitation in the northern third of the state was 6.13 inches above normal for April through September, the central third of the state was 5.11 inches above normal, and the southern third of the state was 1.31 inches above normal. July was the only month of the growing season with below normal precipitation, averaging 1.51 inches below normal. The month with the greatest departure from normal was June, with 2.50 inches above normal.
Corn planted for all purposes totaled 4.00 million acres in 2014, down 100,000 acres from the previous year. There were 3.11 million acres harvested for grain, up 3 percent from 2013. Grain yield rose to 156 bushels per acre, up 11 bushels per acre from the previous year. Acres harvested for silage dropped 13 percent to 850,000 acres and silage production decreased 3 percent to 15.7 million tons.
Planted acres of soybeans increased by 220,000 acres to 1.80 million acres. Harvested acres increased 240,000 acres to 1.79 million acres statewide. The average yield for soybeans in Wisconsin was 44.0 bushels per acre, 5.0 bushels per acre more than the previous year. With these increases in acreage and yield, total production rose 30 percent to 78.8 million bushels.
Wisconsin was second in the nation for oat production in 2014 with 8.68 million bushels, a 27 percent increase from 2013. This was primarily due to 35,000 more harvested acres. Average yield, however, dropped by 3 bushels to 62.0 bushels per acre.
There were 295,000 acres of winter wheat planted in 2014, down 20,000 acres from 2013. Acres harvested fell 15,000 acres to 250,000 acres. Production rose 6 percent to 16.3 million bushels due to a 7 bushel increase in yield per acre.
Though the winter was brutally cold, it also featured unusually early, persistent, and extensive snow cover. On May 11, winter freeze damage to alfalfa was rated 0 percent severe, 2 percent moderate and 16 percent light, with no damage to the remaining 82 percent of the crop. Cold, wet weather in April and early May made hay stands slow to green up. Abundant moisture meant a lush first crop, but soggy fields and frequent rains delayed cutting past the optimal window of maturity and prevented drying. The midsummer dry spell provided good drying conditions for the late second and early third cuttings. But excessive moisture in September slowed progress, especially for late third cutting harvest in the North-Central district. The fourth cutting caught up to average in October while other fieldwork was delayed. Hay supplies were 4 percent short, 81 percent adequate and 15 percent surplus on November 2.
Potato harvested acreage was up 1,000 acres in 2014, with 63,000 acres harvested in total. The average yield rose 10 cwt., to 430 cwt. per acre. Overall production was 27.1 million cwt., up 4 percent from the previous year.
For processing vegetables, Wisconsin remained ranked third in harvested acreage and second in production and value of production. Wisconsin remained the top producer in the nation for snap beans, contributing 46 percent of the national production. The state also ranked first in production of processing carrots and third in processing sweet corn and peas.
There were 20,700 acres of cranberries harvested in 2014, down 400 acres from the previous year’s record high. Cranberry production was 5.02 million barrels, a decrease of 993,600 barrels from 2013, with yields averaging 239.5 barrels per acre. Wisconsin remained the top cranberry producing state, with 60 percent of the national production. Bearing apple acreage in Wisconsin was 4,000 acres, the same as the previous year.
