Agriculture :
Land in farms, 2007

Statewide, slightly more than one half (52.8%) of Minnesota's total acreage was in farmland in 2007, according to the USDA Census of Agriculture. Faribault and Martin counties showed the highest percentage of land in farms. Minnesota's farming "L" is apparent in the state's western, southwestern and southern counties. But while the north central and northeastern counties are light on farming, they are home to other forms of agriculture, particularly in the form of forestry.
