New Mexico’s dairy industry has grown steadily since the 1990s. In the second quarter of 2004, 170 dairies produced 1.76 billion pounds of milk. Clovis’ new Southwest Cheese Plant, scheduled for completion in late 2005, will produce 250 million pounds of cheese annually—all from local milk.
Hot! Hot! Hot! The chile pepper is one of New Mexico’s chief agricultural
products. As Hispanic foods increase in popularity, the demand for New Mexico’s
agricultural products grows. For example, in 2003, salsa sales topped $639 million,
while ketchup weighed in at $489 million.
