Description
A table representing crop acreage, production and value for Seminole County, Florida, in 1949. Statistics in the table identify various products produced in the county, how many acres each crop occupied, production number of each crop, the number of farms reporting for each crop, and the value of each crop. The U.S. Census of Agriculture produced statistics for corn, cowpeas, peanuts, velvet beans, hay crops (excluding cowpea and peanut hay), miscellaneous field seed crops (lupin seed, grass, etc.), Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, cotton, sugarcane and sorghum used for syrup, and root and grain crops hogged off or grazed (excluding corn, cowpeas, and peanuts).
In the early-1900s, Seminole County was known for its agricultural development and close proximity to shipping lanes. By the 1920s, citizens in Seminole County, particularly in Sanford, soon shifted their interests in making the area a tourist destination.
