Connecticut agriculture is dynamic, still evolving and changing from decade to decade and continues to make significant contributions to the life of Connecticut citizens. There are approximately 3800 farms in Connecticut. This is an important natural resource base and it adds to the beauty of our state and makes it a better place to live, work and play. Tax payers benefit from open space and farmland classification. Connecticut farms of the nineties are very diverse.
Agriculture also employs a tremendous number of people.
Last year over 50,000 people were employed in one aspect of agriculture or another. This number includes agricultural production, farm inputs and processing and marketing. Copyright 1997 to 2001. All State disclaimers and permissions apply. Privacy Policy currently applicable to this site.
