Rhode Island's major crops?

Economy:  Silage potatos and Hay (EPA)\nAgriculture: Nursery stock, vegetables, dairy products, eggs\nRhode Island has a small farming sector of some 700 farms averaging 38 ha (94 acres) in size. Yearly farm income is only about $71 million; sales of livestock and livestock products account for about one-sixth of the income and crop sales for the remainder. The state’s leading farm commodities are greenhouse and nursery items, dairy products, eggs, potatoes, hay, apples, beef cattle, hogs, and chickens. Farms are scattered throughout most of the state. \nForestry and Fishing. \n\nRhode Island has an insignificant forestry industry, but fishing is of some importance. The annual fish catch is worth about $75 million; the main species landed include flounder, lobster, clam, squid, scallop, butterfish, bluefish, tuna, scup, cod, herring, and whiting. Freshwater fishing is not commercially important.\n\nMining. \nRhode Island’s yearly mineral output is worth only about $11 million. The leading products are limestone and granite and sand and gravel. Some gemstones also are produced\nworld almanac for kids

Actually, potatoes are not a major crop in Ireland. There are hardly any potatoes grown in Ireland these days, due mainly to the cheap price of imports from elsewhere. The major crops are wheat, oats and barley, with some maize and rapeseed in places. Sugarbeet used to be a major crop but with the end of the sugar industry here it is no more.

Most cities and towns have farmers markets, you could check there. If you ask, grocery stores may let you set up outside their store.  You could also ask around and see if people need baked goodies for parties etc...

You can follow the link below to see some data on water subsidies. By inference, these would be the largest farms - but it may not be a comprehensive list. I believe that data on acreage is maintained at the county level. And, an entity may be doing business under multiple names.

There is a good introductory article on Sri Lanka on Wikipedia.org. It includes both discussions of economy and ecology, and has additional links. It mentions that lots of forest has been cleared for agriculture and that two of the major agricultural crops are tea and cinnamon. Other crops could be bananas, cassave, maize, palms, rice, sorghum, sweet potato, or taro root. I am only mentioning these because they are common tropical agricultural products that I have seen in other parts of the tropics. There is an even better historical discussion here:\nhttp://www2.sjsu.edu/faculty/watkins/srilanka.htm\n\nThe World Food Program has a short write-up.\nhttp://www.wfp.org/country_brief/indexcountry.asp?region=5&section=9&sub_section=5&country=144\nThe FAO has an interesting gender based study here:\nhttp://www.fao.org/sd/WPdirect/WPre0112.htm\nhttp://www.fao.org/documents/show_cdr.asp?url_file=/docrep/004/w2299e/w2299e00.htm\n\nThere is a blog and website devoted to Sri Lanka that has some useful information:\nhttp://servesrilanka.net/\nhttp://servesrilanka.blogspot.com/2005/04/long-term-sustenance-of-agribusiness_30.html\n\nhttp://servesrilanka.net/technology_poverty_sri_lanka.pdf\n\nAs I am sure you have discovered this is a tough topic to find direct examples. There is much indirect discussion regarding the effects, but probably little direct data exists. This is the best I can help you with.

Yes some plants and animals are farmed in the oceans. Sea weed such as kelp and many shell fish such as oysters and mussles are being farmed today. There are also hatcheries. These are places where some fish are born then let loose in the wild where they return to spawn. Some hatcheries raise fish till they are old enough to "harvest", then put to market.

It depends on the year and location, but generally sugarbeets, sugarcane, carrots, onions, cabbage and potatos are all very high.\n\nAmong all irrigated farms in the US in 2002 or 2003 (see the USDA reports in the sources)\nsugarcane 30.6 tons per acre\ncarrots 28.2 tons per acre\nsugarbeets 24.1 tons per acre\nonions 22.1 tons per acre\npotatos 19.6 tons per acre\ncabbage 15.1 tons per acre\n\nBut in Washington State (which is great for sugarbeets and potatos), in 2003 Sugarbeets were 40.3 Tons per acre and potatos were 28.75 tons per acre).\n\nFor you non-farmers when you read the charts, Cwt is the abbreviation for hundredweight, which is 100 lbs or 0.05 tons.
