Pulpwood is the chief forest product, but some lumber is produced.
Some of the forests are grazed. Although only about 5 percent of the area is in crops, this is the major citrus-producing area in Florida. Many kinds of winter vegetables also are grown. About 25 percent of the area is pasture, about one-half of which is improved and intensively managed. Beef cattle are the principal livestock, and dairying is an important enterprise near some of the large cities.
