When thinking of Indiana agriculture, most people gravitate toward vast fields of corn and soybeans. And while those crops are extremely important to the state, Indiana has earned its spot in top national rankings for several other commodities.
The Hoosier State ranks ninth nationally in total agricultural production and in the top five for crop production. It’s also ranked first in the nation for commercial duck production, popcorn, hardwood veneer and wood office furniture and second for production of pumpkins and wood kitchen cabinets and countertops. Indiana ranks third in the nation for production of spearmint, and fourth for peppermint production. In the fruits and vegetables category, Indiana takes the fifth spot for corn and soybeans.
