The Relative Contribution of Crops and Livestock to Missouri Agricultural Productivity 1997 and 2002
Missouri farms combined to sell agricultural commodities having a market value of $5,466,009 in 1997. Of that amount livestock accounted for $3.076 billion (56.3 percent) of the total agricultural commodity sales. Crops accounted for $2.390 billion (43.7 percent) of the total commodity sales. In 2002 total agricultural commodity sales had declined to $4.983,255. Of that amount livestock sales accounted for $2.990 billion (60.0 percent) and crop sales accounted for the remaining $1.992 billion (40.0 percent) of total 2002 commodity sales. Relatively, crops declined in market value that were sold between 1997 and 2002. Livestock sales remained about the same as in 1997.

Map 1 shows that livestock sales increased in 52 counties between 1997 and 2002. In several of the counties the increase was significant. Examples include Barry County in which livestock sales increased by $48.3 million (32 percent between 1997 and 2002), Putnam County in which sales increased by $30.3 million (154 percent) and Moniteau County in which livestock sales increased by $29.1 million (66.3 percent). In those three counties the increase in livestock sales was far above any other counties in the state.

Map 2 shows that crop sales declined by 16.6 percent between 1997 and 2002 and that while crop sales increased in 31 counties crop sales decreased in 79 counties. Although the change in crop sales and crop production was relatively small in most counties, there were seven counties in which crop sales declined by more than $15 million from what they had been in 1997. The counties with decrease in crop sales of more than $15 million were Atchison, Butler, Dunklin, Mississippi, Pemiscot, Scott and Stoddard. Six of the seven counties are in the Bootheel area.

OSEDA Regional Grouping of Counties Many demographic factors vary by region within the state of Missouri. For the convenience of our user community, OSEDA prepares tables using three different regional groupings of counties: Extension, Economic Development and Transportation. For each of these groupings, one table summarizes the indicators by regional total and a second table shows values for each county grouped by region. Users may select the county grouping most helpful for their application and understanding. |
Change in Crop and Livestock Sales Between 1997 - 2002 by Region.
UM Extension Regions
Table 1 shows that $2.18 billion (71 percent) of livestock sales in 1997 occurred in four regions: Southwest ($861 million), Central ($509 million), Northeast ($429 million) and South Central ($385 million). In 2002 those four regions generated livestock sales of $2.11 billion that was again 71 percent of 2002 livestock sales. There was some change in those four regions: Southwest increased from $861 million to $917 million - an increase of 6.5 percent: Central increased from $509 million to $512 million - an increase of 0.06 percent; Northeast declined from $429 million to $306 million - a decline of 28.7 percent; South Central declined from $385 million to $374 million - a decrease of 2.9 percent
Table 1 also shows that $1.79 billion (74.8 percent) of crop production in 1997 occurred in four regions: Southeast ($691 million), Northwest ($391 million), Central ($370 million) and Northeast ($335 million). In 2002 those four regions generated crop sales of $1.44 billion (72.3 percent) of crop production in 2002. There was some change in those four regions: Southeast declined from $691 million to $531 million - a decrease of 23.2 percent; Northwest declined from $391 million to $303 million - a decrease of 22.5 percent; Central declined from $370 million to $337 million - a decrease of 8.9 percent and Northeast declined from $335 million to $271 million - a decrease of 19.1 percent.
The data from Table 1 make it clear that in 2002 the Southwest Region was most specialized in Livestock production (livestock accounted for 89 percent of regional commodity sales in 2002) and the Southeast Region is most specialized in crop production (crop production accounted for 79.5 percent of total regional commodity production in 2002).
Department of Economic Development (DED) Regions
Table 2 shows that five of the 13 DED regions (Southwest, North Central, Central, Lake Ozark Rolla and West Central) accounted for $1.80 billion (58.6 percent) of Missouri's total livestock commodity sales in 1997. In 2002 those five regions generated livestock sales of $1.68 billion (56.2 percent of state total). There was some change among the five regions: Southwest increased from $713 million to $735 million - an increase of 3.1 percent; North Central declined from $295 million to $138 million - a decline of 53.2 percent; Central increased from $279 million to $304 million - an increase of 9.0 percent; Lake Ozark Rolla declined from $260 million to $241 million - a decline of 7.3 percent and West Central increased from $254 to $262 - an increase of 3.1 percent.
Table 2 also shows that $1.25 billion (52.3 percent) of crop production in 1997 occurred in three regions: Bootheel ($641 million), Northwest $320 million) and Northeast ($290 million). In 2002 those three regions generated crop sales of $973 million (48.8 percent) of crop production in 2002.
It is significant that the dollar value of crop production decreased by nearly 17 percent from 1997 to 2002.
Missouri Department of Transportation (MODOT) Districts
Table 3 shows that four of the MODOT Districts (Joplin, Jefferson City, Macon, and Springfield) accounted for $1.98 billion (64.4 percent) of Missouri's total livestock commodity sales in 1997. In 2002 those four districts generated livestock sales of $1.88 billion (63.1 percent of the state total). There was some change from 1997 - 2002 in livestock sales among the four districts: the Joplin District increased from $762 million to $779 million; the Jefferson City District increased from $500 million to $505 million; the Springfield District increased from $328 million to $361 million, but; the Macon District declined from $393 million to $243 million. Poultry is the major livestock commodity produced in the Joplin, Jefferson City and Springfield Districts, while hogs production is the major livestock enterprise in the Macon District.
Table 3 also shows that $1.73 billion (72.4 percent) of crop production in 1997 occurred in four districts: Sikeston ($698 million), Hannibal ($373 million), St. Joseph ($339 million) and Macon ($321 million). In 2002 those four regions generated crop sales of $1.39 billion (69.9 percent) of crop production in 2002. Although crop production declined by 17 percent statewide from 1997 to 2002 the above four districts remained the major crop producers.
Missouri Regional Planning Commission (RPCs) Areas
Table 4 shows that four of the19 Regional Planning Commission Areas (Southwest Missouri Council of Governments, Harry Truman Coordinating Council, Green Hills RPC, and Lake of Ozarks Council of Governments) accounted for $1.41 billion (45.7 percent) of Missouri's total livestock commodity sales in 1997. In 2002 those four RPC areas generated $1.29 billion (43.1 percent of the state total). There was some change from 1997-2002 in livestock sales among the four RPC areas: The Southwest Missouri Council of Governments area increased from $477 million to $549 million; the Harry Truman Coordinating Council area decreased from $352 million to $333 million; the Lake of the Ozarks Council of Local Governments area decreased from $217 million to $199 million; and the Green Hills RPC area decreased from $360 million to $209 million. Poultry is the major livestock commodity produced in the Southwest, Truman and Lake of Ozarks RPC areas while hog production is the major livestock enterprise in the Green Hills RPC.
Apart from the top four livestock producing RPC areas discussed above there are five additional RPC areas in which livestock sales ranged between $173 million and $195 million in 2002. Those RPC areas include: South Central Ozarks ($195 million), Kaysinger Basin ($193 million), Mark Twain ($190 million), Pioneer Trails ($174 million) and Mid-Missouri ($173 million). Although smaller livestock producers than the top four the five RPC areas listed above generated a total of $925 million in 2002 (31 percent of the state total).
Table 4 also shows that $1.42 billion (59.5 percent) of crop production in 1997 occurred in five RPC areas: Bootheel ($574 million), Green Hills ($244 million), Mark Twain ($236 million), NWMO ($185 million) and Pioneer Trails ($182 million). In 2002 those five RPC areas generated crop sales of $1.16 billion (57.7 percent of total state crop production in 2002). Although crop production declined by 17 percent statewide from 1997 to 2002 the above five RPC areas remained the major crop producers.
