The state boasts the highest number of family owned farms of any state in the nation. Less than five percent of West Virginia farmlands are commercial operations. In 2008, there were 23,200 farms using 3.7 million acres. The average farm size is 157 acres compared to the national average of 418 acres.
The forest industry is alive and well in West Virginia. West Virginia ranks No. 3 in the nation for forested land area (12 million acres). Some of the forests are nationally or state owned, including two national parks and nine state parks.
The state receives an average of four inches of rain each month to help with irrigation. As the river plain floods, it produces and transports fertile blacker mare soils. Much of the oil is shallow, clayey, and acidic but the limestone bedrock neutralizes acidity.
Of the total agriculture production, livestock products account for 82 percent and crops about 18 percent. The top cash products are broiler chickens, cattle and calves, chicken eggs, dairy products, and turkeys. Broilers generated 37 percent of total agricultural monies and beef cattle and calves 21 percent. Other animal production has to do with sheep and lambs, hogs, farm chickens, honey, farm-raised fish, and wool.
Hay, which feeds the livestock, is the No. 1 crop, providing two percent of cash sales. Other crops include apples, corn for grain, soybeans, tobacco, peaches, and wheat. Nationally, the state ranks No. 10 for apples, No. 12 for trout, No. 14 for turkeys, and No. 15 for peaches.
Now home to about 2 million residents, the “Mountain State” was founded as the 35th state in 1863. The capital and largest city is Charleston (pop. 53,421). The State Bird is Cardinal, State Tree Sugar Maple, State Fruit Golden Delicious Apple, and State Flower Rhododendron.
