Texas agriculture

Texas agriculture is a vital part of the state's economy, encompassing the production of crops like cotton, corn, wheat, and hay, as well as raising livestock such as cattle, poultry, and goats. The state's diverse climate and large land area enable a wide range of farming activities, from irrigated fields in the west to cattle ranching in the plains. Agriculture faces challenges including drought, water management, and market fluctuations, but remains a key driver of employment and food supply. Innovation, sustainable practices, and technology continue to shape Texas’s agricultural landscape, balancing productivity with conservation efforts.
