state parks, National Parks, TVA lakes and the Eastern Coal Country (those mountains are not good for much crop wise). The good farmland is basically the western half of the state.

It is a very rural state but not as farm dominated as one would think. Predominatly row crops, with tobacco, pigs and cattle mostly and maybe some chicken farms.

Hemp is the up and comer though.
