And the top commodity for 2024 is... 🥁🪴⁠
⁠
Congratulations to Oregon's greenhouse and nursery industry for taking home the top spot once again. Cattle & calves claimed 2nd place, with hay and milk coming in 3rd and 4th, respectively. Grass seed rounded out the top 5 with a production value of $791.5 million, solidifying the state's title as "grass seed capital of the world." ⁠
⁠
Although these rankings represent the top 20 agriculture commodities in Oregon, it is important to recognize Oregon agriculture’s ability to produce more than 225 commodities across the state, each of which brings value to the state’s economy. ⁠
⁠
Nationally, Oregon ranks No. 1 for the production of hazelnuts, Christmas trees, rhubarb, crimson clover seed, orchard grass seed, fescue seed, ryegrass seed, red clover seed, sugar beet for seed, and white clover seed.⁠
⁠
A note on the data: All production values are based on estimates from the 2022 crop year. ⁠
