Loudoun County’s Rural Business Division presented a new strategy for
the rural economy to the county’s Economic Development
Commission.
The new strategy identified the top ten agricultural industry sectors
in Loudoun County including beef cattle, equine, sheep, goats, sod,
hay, Christmas trees, nursery products, and fruits and vegetables.
Agriculture is Virginia's largest industry and Loudoun County is first in several
categories including number one in number of horses, number of wineries
and in acres of sod harvested. The county also produces the second most
grapes in the state, is fourth and fifth in Christmas tree sales and in
hay and other crops respectively.
The purpose of the new strategy is to provide a voice for rural business
to aid growth and prosperity. More here.
