Handy, Assistant Administrator Department of Agricultural Economics March 1967 INTRODUCTION This is the second bulletin in the series of publications prepared under the cooperative agreement between the College of Agriculture, University of Arizona and the Statistical Reporting Service, USDA. The first bulletin, Arizona Agricultural Statistics 1867-1965, published in February 1966, brought together the major historical series of data available on crops and livestock in Arizona. This bulletin brings these series up to date, shows revisions, and includes additional historical series not published previously. After data become available from each 5-year Federal Census of Agriculture, the crop and livestock estimates for the preceding inter census years are reviewed and necessary revisions made based on Census data as well as any other check data that have become available. Arizona Agricultural Statistics 1967 includes revised data for all crops and current estimates for 1966 and 1967. The 1960-1965 revised estimates of vegetables will be published in Arizona Agricultural Statistics 1968. Revisions for honey and beeswax cover the period 1955-1965 and are included in this publication. Agriculture remains one of the most important segments of the economy of Arizona. Each year the Arizona Crop and Livestock Reporting Service collects and records information on acreage, production, price, and related factors of each major crop and measures the ever changing livestock and poultry population and production. Since July 1965 this has been a joint effort of the State of Arizona through the Department of Agricultural Economics, College of Agriculture, University of Arizona and the United States Department of Agriculture through the Statistical Reporting Service. This cooperation avoids needless dup lication and provides the most economical means of collecting and disseminating information needed by farmers, ranchers and agri-business. We want to acknowledge and say "thank you" to the many farmers, ranchers, dealers, processors, merchants, etc., who have provided the basic information from which the reports on crops and livestock are prepared. Credit is also due to the technical and clerical staff of the Arizona Crop and Livestock Reporting Service in preparation of estimates for publication. James Riggs had the lead in assembly and organization of data for publication and Miss Darlene Diller typed final copy. Special recognition is extended to Mrs. Evelyn Dye, State Statistical Clerk, who designed the cover page. Floyd E.
