    Ever since it stepped into the earliest expanses of land cleared by 19th century lumbermen, agriculture in Michigan has seen unending change and evolution. Echoing national trends, farms here have consistently grown in size and shrunk in number. As early “general farming” became increasingly specialized, Michigan’s unique variety of climates and soils have made possible endless experimentation that continues to this day, resulting in the second-most diverse agricultural sector in the nation; only California produces more different commodities than Michigan farms.
