Geocache Description:

This is the second in a series of caches developed to highlight the diversity, history and importance of Virginia’s largest industry, Agriculture.

The agriculture industry contributes $55 billion annually to the state’s economy and provides more than 357,000 jobs. Virginia has more than 47,000 farms covering 8.1 million acres, the equivalent of 32% of Virginia’s total land area. Virginia’s diverse agriculture industry includes commodities such as broiler chickens, beef, milk, apples, Christmas trees, clams, corn, cut flowers, goats, hay, lamb and wool, mushrooms, peaches, peanuts, potatoes, soybeans, sweet corn, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, trout, turkeys, watermelons, wine grapes and many other items.

It is impossible to tell the story of Virginia agriculture without including the largest agriculture organization within the state. With nearly 150,000 members in 88 county Farm Bureaus, the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation is Virginia’s largest farmers’ group.

Farm Bureau is a non-governmental, nonpartisan, voluntary organization governed by and representing farm and ranch families united for the purpose of protecting Virginia’s farms and ensuring a safe, fresh and locally grown food supply.

The organization works to support its producer members by providing membership benefits, such as leadership development programs (including a Women's Commitee and Young Farmers Committee), commodity associations, rural health programs, insurance products, agricultural supplies and marketing, and other services.

The cache container is only large enough for a log, so be sure to bring your own pen.
