Arkansas Agriculture
As the state’s No. 1 industry, agriculture is crucial to Arkansas’s economy. More than 37,000 farms spread across 13.7 million acres annually contribute a market value of around $14 billion annually to the Natural State.
Arkansas ranks among the top states nationally for broilers, catfish and several other agricultural products. And while the the commodities are important, it’s really the men and women behind the tractors that keep Arkansas agriculture strong. Arkansas is home to more than 67,000 farmers who work hard to provide food, fuel and fiber for the state, nation and world every day.
