Voters say farming is Floridaâs most important industry
They think Florida farmers and ranchers are doing a great job, too.
Florida voters say agriculture is the most important industry in the state, and they think the stateâs farmers and ranchers are doing a pretty good job, too.
A new poll commissioned by the Florida Ag Coalition found 98% of Florida voters believe farming and ranching are key cogs in Floridaâs economy.
Hard data backs up the sentiment â Florida farmers contribute $140 billion a year to the stateâs economy and support 2 million jobs.
But farming and ranching were seen as important by broader margins than other major Sunshine State industries, such as tourism (96%) or construction and development (94%).
