Cochise County: Agriculture continues to be an important segment of the Cochise County economy. Once known as the cattle capitol of the nation, livestock continues to be important to the county economy. Primary irrigated crops are cotton, wheat, corn, grain, sorghum, and alfalfa hay. More recent diversification of agriculture in Cochise County has resulted in changes from the primary crops to apples, peaches, cherries, grapes, pistachios, pecans, lettuce, chili, and other vegetables. The area has a multitude of U-pick vegetable farms and orchards, including several organic farms. Greenhouse tomato and cucumber operations have been completed in the past few years with good success. The largest area for these operations are the Sulphur Springs Valley with the San Simon Valley coming in second. Nearly 48,000 cattle and calves call the area home. The county fair is held in Douglas in September/October and you can get in on Rex Allen Days, the celebration of a silver screen cowboy, in Willcox in October. Agriculture in this county is worth $105,400,000 a year.
