From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Agriculture in Arizona is a notable sector in the state’s economy, contributing more than $23.3 billion in 2018. Arizona’s diverse climate allows it to export all sorts of commodities such as food crops, nuts, wheat, cotton, eggs, meat, and dairy across 70 countries and the United States. In 2018, the state produced 455.7 million pounds of red meat and ranked 3rd in producing vegetables in the United States that used up 26 million acres of land for all farms and ranches. [1]
Due to Arizona’s four deserts and very low rainfall, the agricultural sector acquires it's water from the state's rivers and streams that include the Colorado, Verde, Salt, Gila, San Pedro, Santa Cruz and Little Colorado Rivers. [2][1]
This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content.
