what is arizona's leading cash crop?
Three of Arizonaâs âFive Csâ (citrus, cotton, and cattle) arise from agriculture. Nationally, Arizona ranks second in the production of lemons, third in tangerine production. Cotton was briefly our stateâs largest resource, and is the reason the City of Goodyear exists. The cattle industry continues to boom. In fact, dairy is Arizonaâs leading agricultural product! In addition, the stateâs ranchers produce enough beef annually to feed over 4.6 million Americans. Yet we produce so much more!
