Arizona AgricultureDespite of it being regarded as desert land, Arizona agriculture proves that the Grand Canyon State is a rich source of farm crops and livestock products.
In 2002 there were about 7,300 farms covering 26.5 million acres (10.7 million hectares), or about 39% of the state's total area, but only 1,961,000 acres (389,000 hectares), or 1.3% of the state, were actually farmed for crops. Arizona's farmed cropland is intensely cultivated and highly productive. In 2002, Arizona was 2nd among all states in cotton yield per acre (1,262 lb per acre). About 95% of all farmland is dependent on irrigation provided by dams and water projects.Cotton is the leading cash crop in Arizona. Vegetables, especially head lettuce, accounted for a value of $705,701,000 in 2001. Hay is also an important item; total hay production was 2,034,000 tons in 2002, for a value of $202,289,000. Other crops are wheat, sorghum, barley, grapes, and citrus fruits.  |
