LOUISIANA FARMS

Farms in Louisiana tend to be larger in size, ranging from a few hundred acres to several thousand acres. The soils along the Mississippi River are very fertile, usually with a good supply of water from underground aquifers and rivers.

Much of the farmland has been precision graded and is flood or furrow irrigated. The major crops produced are rice, cotton, corn, soybeans and wheat, with some sweet potatoes. There are also a number of quality timber, livestock, catfish and poultry farms.

A large percentage of the cropland is rented to excellent area farmers for cash rent or by crop-share rent.

Property taxes are very reasonable in Louisiana.

Most of the farms in Louisiana also offer excellent duck hunting and deer hunting as well as other game.
