Agriculture remains a deeply ingrained part of Oklahoma's culture and economy. The state covers millions of acres of farmland, with average farm sizes much larger than the national average.
- **Livestock:** Oklahoma is a top-five producer of beef cattle in the United States. Swine and poultry (especially broilers) are also massive industries, particularly in the eastern portion of the state. - **Crops:** The western plains are blanketed in winter wheat (another top-five national ranking). Other major crops include cotton, hay, corn, soybeans, and peanuts. - **Forestry:** The southeastern quadrant of the state, known as "Little Dixie," supports a robust commercial pine and hardwood timber industry.
