Broilers are Arkansas' single most important agricultural
product, providing over 40% of the state's total
agricultural receipts. In the livestock group, cattle and
calves, chicken eggs and turkeys are also important
products for the state. Farm-raised catfish provide the
biggest portion of the aquaculture category.
In the crops group, rice and soybeans are Arkansas' most
valuable crops. Cotton is also important and grain corn and
wheat round out the top five crop products of the state.

Research Service
The 2004 table above contains information about Arkansas
agricultural production provided by the Economic Research
Service at the United States Department of Agriculture.
The first column of the table lists the product
(commodity).
The second column of the table lists a number representing
the dollar value of the product. This number is not the
dollar value of the product. This number represents the
dollar value of the product in thousands of dollars. For
example, the number listed for the value of broilers
produced in Arkansas is 2,731,300. This number represents a
dollar value of $2,731,300,000 (2,731,300 x 1,000): two
billion, seven hundred and thirty-one million, three
hundred thousand dollars.
The third column of the table lists the percent (part) of
the total agricultural value produced in Arkansas. For
example, broilers account for 41.4% of Arkansas's total
agricultural production value. The dollars generated by the
13
production of broilers account for over 2/5 of Arkansas's
total agricultural production.
National ranking highlights - 2004
Ranks first in production of rice (47% of U.S.
production).
Ranks second in aquaculture (12% of U.S. production);
primarily channel catfish and bait fish.
Arkansas farms and farmland - 2004
Because of different rounding methods (e.g., farm acres
given by the National Argriculture Statistics Service),
percentage of farmland per state should be considered a
rough estimate.

Workplace Fatalities in Arkansas — 2010
28
Fatal work injuries totaled 87 in Arkansas in 2010, the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Regional
Commissioner Stanley W. Suchman noted that while the 2010
count was preliminary, the number of work-related
fatalities in the state had risen by 12 from one year
earlier. Arkansas was one of 27 states and the District of
Columbia to report higher numbers of fatal work injuries in
2010 than in 2009. Fatal occupational injuries in the state
have ranged from a high of 106 in 2000 to a low of 68 in
2001. (See table 1 and chart 1.)
Nationwide, a preliminary total of 4,547 fatal work
injuries were recorded in 2010, about the same as the final
count of 4,551 recorded in 2009, according to results from
the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) program.
Final 2010 CFOI data will be released in Spring 2012.
