Here Are The 19 Most Valuable Crops Grown In Texas

If you were to sit down and think about farms in Texas, your mind might go right to cattle. Which is totally fair. Cattle ranches dot the landscape of Texas. But under the surface of first reactions, the state of Texas is also a national leader when it comes to crops.

Texas ranks inside the top 5 states in America for their production of multiple crops. Things lie pumpkins, cabbage, oranges, and a pair of crops where Texas leads the way...

The state of Texas leads the nation in number of farms and acres of farmland. In fact, Texas doubles the #2 state in both of those rankings. So its not by a little either. We're not talking about a scenario where Texas just barley beats a smaller state, which would be unfair when considering the state's size. More than doubling the second place state should be enough to make the point.

But its not just the size of the farmland, its what you do with it. And Texas is profitable with its farmland.

Texas is a top 5 producer in the US across at least 11 different crops when you consider the value of its production. That's a long way of saying Texas makes more money off about a dozen crops than 90% of other states. Crops like pumpkins, lemons, rice, and cabbage that you might not associate with Texas, all have Top 5 nationwide value for the Lone State State.
