- Agriculture: Michigan's leading field crops are corn, soybeans, sugar beets, wheat
and hay. Greenhouse/nursery plants (flowers, shrubbery) are also important. Michigan is the nation's
second largest grower of Christmas trees and one of the leading producers of apples, blueberries and
cherries. Traverse City is famous for its cherries. Important Michigan vegetable crops are asparagus,
bell peppers, carrots, celery, cucumbers, onions, potatoes, pumpkins, snap beans, sweet corn and tomatoes.

- Manufacturing: Transportation equipment (automobiles, trucks, vans, SUVs, airplanes,
boats, buses) is Michigan's most valuable manufacturing sector. Production of machinery (bearings,
chisels, dies, valves, machine parts, computers, conveyors, engines, machine tools, pumps) is the state's
second-ranked sector. Fabricated metal products (cutlery, hand tools, hardware) rank third in
Michigan. The state is among the leading states in the manufacture of sporting goods and athletic
equipment.
- Services: Community, business and personal services (private health care, law
offices, engineering and research companies, repair shops, computer software companies) is the leading
service industry in Michigan. Ranking second is the wholesale (automobiles, automobile parts, groceries,
machinery) and retail (automobile dealerships, discount stores, grocery stores, restaurants) trade sector.
Michigan's third-ranking service industry is finance, real estate and insurance.

petroleum. Michigan ranks second, behind Minnesota, in the production of iron ore and one of the world's
largest limestone quarries in located in Michigan. The state is the leading producer of iron oxide
pigments and magnesium compounds in the country and is among the leaders in the production of gypsum,
iodine, peat and sand and gravel. Large deposits of copper exist in the state but are expensive to mine.
