Texas Counties: Milk Sales in 2017

Milk was Texas's fourth-largest agricultural product in 2017. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 12 billion pounds of milk were produced in Texas that year. The USDA does not collect milk production data at the county level, however, so this page shows the dollar value of milk sold to market instead.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture groups counties in each state into agricultural districts according to factors such as soil type, elevation, temperature, and need for irrigation. Texas has 15 USDA agricultural districts.
