How did rice become a cash crop in Louisiana? What is the economic impact of this industry in Louisiana?
Wow, that's quite impressive. Is there any other cash crop that is as important to Louisiana's economy?
While rice is one of Louisiana's most important cash crops, the state also produces significant amounts of sugarcane, cotton, and soybeans. However, rice is the only crop that is exclusively grown in Louisiana and accounts for a significant percentage of the state's agricultural output.
