Idaho agriculture overcame a struggling dairy market to record a second consecutive year of high cash receipts in 2023, propelled by record values of four of the state’s major crops, according to a new University of Idaho economic report.
Idaho agricultural cash receipts for the year totaled $11.157 billion, down by just 1% from the record-high number food producers celebrated in 2022, according to a UI report called “The Financial Condition of Idaho Agriculture: 2023” by agricultural economists Brett Wilder and Xiaoxue “Rita” Du.
The 2023 report concludes the state’s farmers brought in record revenue from sugar beets, up by 25%; potatoes, up by 14%, cattle and calves, up by 18%; and barley, up by 17%. UI economists presented their report during a series of Idaho Ag Outlook seminars in Lewiston, Idaho Falls, Twin Falls and Nampa.
