Summary
[edit]
| Description | Agricultural farm in Alaska in the Matanuska Valley near the town of Palmer. The prominent mountain in the background is Pioneer Peak. There are about 900 farms located throughout Alaska with 318 different soil types. Summer days of nearly constant daylight allow some crops to grow to enormous size including 19 pound carrots and cabbage plants over 100 pounds. Hay is the most common crop grown on approximately 21,000 Alaska acres. Alaska harvests almost 18 million pounds of potatoes each year. Livestock farms in Alaska commonly raise cattle, pigs, sheep, reindeer, bison, yak, and elk. |
