University of Nevada, Ren <br /> <br /> <br />! <br /> <br /> <br />FOREWORD <br /> <br />The Nevada Agricultural Statistics Service provides <br />data users with unbiased statistics about the state's <br />agricultural industry. Cash receipts from the sale of <br />crops, livestock and livestock products contributed <br />$333.4 million to the state's economy in 1990. Cattle <br />. and calves are the most important commodity, tradi- <br />tionally pro~iding over half of the total receipts. The state-federal statistical program <br />has continued to strive for data quality and service. We see new challenges to <br />agriculture's' traditional use of land, water and other resources as we proceed into <br />the 1990's. . Agriculture will be required to justify it's claim to these resources with <br />facts and filllures. We also see rapid expansion of genetic engineering and other <br />biotechnology to increase productivity and solve pest and disease problems. <br />Unbiased statistics will be needed to measure and evaluate change. <br /> <br />A big "THANK YOU" goes to our farmers, ranchers and agri-businessmen who <br />voluntarily answer survey questionnaires to provide input to this and other reports. <br />Thanks also ,to our talented office staff, field and telephone interviewers who are <br />dedicated to providing you with high quality, timely information. <br /> <br /> <br />c:;, ;~.~ <br /> <br />C.R.
