Growing Wyoming, today and tomorrow
Agriculture in Wyoming is strong. According to the latest Census, Wyoming was one of the few states who added lands. We also ranked first in average size ranch in the country. We contribute more than a billion dollars to the state economy, all while preserving the open spaces, culture and heritage that make Wyoming great.

Wyoming Ag Stress
Ag and the people of this industry are the backbone of our state. While we all know the importance of this industry, many may not understand the difficulties these operations face daily. This industry is difficult and these can be challenging times and stressful for producers. We strive to provide a resource for those who are looking for a wide variety of information to help care for, and assist in the well-being of our WY producers.

Specialty Crop Program
The Wyoming Specialty Crop program through the WDA has assisted producers across the state to grow crops that don’t generally grow well in Wyoming. Through season extension efforts and other projects, this program is helping producers grow more food here in Wyoming.
State Meat Program
The State Meat program in WY provides licensing and inspection for meat plants to operate under three categories: state inspected, custom exempt and wild game. These meat processing facilities each have different levels of inspection based on use of the product but the goal of the WDA is to not only protect consumers through this program, but also protect producers across Wyoming by ensuring the safety of products that come through these facilities.
