MISSISSIPPI FARMS

Farms in Mississippi 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 livestock, catfish, poultry, and timber farms. A large percentage of the cropland is rented to excellent area farmers for cash rent or by crop-share rent.

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