Types of Farms Found in Tennessee
While the rich soil would make Tennessee ideal for large crop farms, the topography and high rock concentration makes large sprawling farms difficult, especially if they produce vast quantities of vegetables. Instead, most Tennessee farmers dedicate their property to livestock production, with cattle serving as the preferred commodity. It's estimated that the cattle industry represents 20% of Tennessee's agriculture production. In addition to a nice division of beef and dairy cattle, farmers also raise chickens, soybeans, cotton, corn, and hogs. Land Broker Co-op offers land for sale in Tennessee for many types of agriculture.
