In 2018, Texas generated around $22.0 billion in agricultural cash receipts with the highest valued commodities being cattle and calves, upland cotton lint, and broilers.

Texas is the nation’s largest producer of cattle and cotton as well as other crops. Texas by itself is responsible for about 20% of all the beef consumed in the US. The state is also the number one producer of cotton. About 29% of all cotton used in the country was grown in Texas.

In regards to oil and gas, Texas is responsible for about one-fifth of the country’s oil production and one-third of the country natural gas. Texas also leads the nation in electricity produced by wind. Wind farms in Texas produce close to 13% of the state’s electricity with a capacity for 36 million megawatthours. 80% of the wind-generated electricity is produced by 12 states. Of those states, Texas has an 80% share of that production.
