My first stop was Arizona, which is located in Southwestern United States (MDC). A variety of crops are grown in Arizona, including alfalfa, hay, corn, cotton, wheat, citrus, olives, and potatoes. Commercial gardening is common in Arizona, which is the sale of agricultural products off the farm. The produce from commercial farming are usually sold to local grocery stores. After interviewing commercial gardeners, I have concluded that in order to sell produce commercially, gardeners must have a strong marketing plan. They have to be sure to grow enough of each crop, test the quality of their produce, and decide whether or not they should directly or indirectly sell to their customers.
