Which States Produce The Most Food In America?
From California's fruit and vegetable farms to the Midwest's vast corn and soybean fields, agriculture looks very different across the United States.
Using the latest data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), this graphic, via Visual Capitalist's Dorothy Neufeld, ranks every state by its agricultural production value in 2024.
America's Largest Agricultural Economies
The table below shows each state's agricultural production value in 2024.
Together, the top 10 states account for well over half of America's agricultural production value. Geography, climate, water availability, and decades of specialization have helped create distinct regional farming economies across the country.

Strongest El Nino In 75 Years Sets Off Food Supply-Chain Alarm Bells
The US Climate Prediction Center has warned that the weather phenomenon El Niño, which only recently emerged across the Pacific, could become the most powerful in more than 75 years. This raises the risk of adverse weather conditions across the US, Asia, Australia, and South America. The stronger the weather event becomes, the greater the threat to critical food supply chains, which are already vulnerable to drought, flooding, export restrictions, and rising protectionism.
The CPC, a NOAA/National Weather Service unit that issues official US government climate outlooks, wrote in its report that sea-surface temperatures at least 1C above normal have spread across the central and eastern equatorial Pacific, with an 81% chance the event becomes "very strong" and ranks among the largest on record since 1950. Some parts of the Pacific were 2.7C above normal last week.
