In 2002 there were 37,000 farms in New York. Of those, 46 percent had annual sales of more than $10,000. Most of the remaining farms were sideline (副业) operations for farmers who also held other jobs. Farmland occupied 3.1 million hectares (7.6 million acres), of which 61 percent was cropland. The rest was mostly grazing land or woodland.
Dairying is New York’s most important fanning activity. More than one-half of the state’s farm income comes from the production of milk and cream. Most of the dairy production is sold as fluid milk, although butter and cheese are important products as weft. The dairy areas are located in the Hudson, St. Lawrence, Black, and M6hawk valleys. Cattle are also raised for beef production. Chicken and duck products, including eggs, are also important. Chicken and duck farms are concentrated on Long Island, which is famous for its ducks. Chickens and turkeys are also raised.
In the production of potatoes, New York ranks among the top dozen states. About one-third of the output comes from Long Island.
The production of fruit is important in the state. In the late 1990s New York ranked second among the states in production of apples and in the top three states in production of grapes. Sour cherries and pears are also important crops. Most New York apples are grown in Wayne County east of Rochester and in the mid-Hudson Valley. The grapes come from the area along the Lake Erie shore and in the Finger Lakes region, although significant amounts of grapes for wine are grown in eastern Long Island. New York State’s wines are among the best wines produced in the United States.
In maple syrup (枫糖浆) production, New York compotes with Vermont for top place among the states. The other important crops grown in New York include com, onions, cabbage, and hay. The Ontario Lake plain south of Lake Ontario is the state’s vegetable-growing area and also has numerous flower and plant nurseries(苗圃). Many of the vegetables grown there are canned or frozen.
According to the passage, farms in New York ______.
选项
A、earn more from dairy products than from crops
B、mostly have sales more than ten million US dollars
C、are usually woodland
D、regard dairying as the most important activity in their routine
答案
A
解析
