Agriculture is one of Arizona's largest industries. Viewed broadly, agriculture involves the production, storage and marketing of fruits, nuts, vegetables and ornamental greenhouse/nursery crops. Agriculture includes not only farming and farm management, but also most of the businesses and industries that produce the goods and services used by the farmer to raise livestock, grow crops and deliver them to the consumer.
