- Mining: Oklahoma's most important mined products are, by a good margin, petroleum
and natural gas. The state ranks among the leading producers in the country. Other mined products are
coal, crushed stone (limestone quarries), iodine and sand and gravel. Iodine is not produced in any
other state.
- Agriculture: Oklahoma is one of the leading sources of beef in the country and,
not surprisingly, the production of beef cattle is the leading source of agricultural income in the state.
Other important livestock products are chickens, eggs, hogs, milk, sheep, turkeys and fish (farm-raised catfish).
Oklahoma's most valuable crop is wheat and the state ranks among the leading producers in the country.
Hay ranks second with corn, cotton, grain sorghum, peanuts and soybeans following. Peaches and pecans are
also produced in Oklahoma.

- Manufacturing: Production of machinery, particularly oil field machinery, leads
the manufacturing industry in Oklahoma. Construction machinery, machine parts and refrigeration and
heating equipment are other types of machinery manufactured in the state. Transportation equipment
(aircraft and aerospace equipment, automobile assembly) ranks as the second most important manufacturing
activity in the state followed by a variety of other items including computer and electronic equipment
(electronic components, military communication systems, telephone equipment), fabricated metal products
(structural metal), processed foods (meat-packing plants, animal feed, bakery products), and rubber and
plastic products (tires).
- Services: In the services industry, the community, business and personal services
group leads the way with private health care, equipment rental companies (oil field equipment, rental
cars), telemarketing firms (telephone reservation systems) and repair shops. Ranking next are the
wholesale trade (food products, grain, oil and gas, transportation equipment) and retail trade
(automobile dealerships, discount stores, food stores, service stations) industries along with government
services (public schools, hospitals, military bases). The third most important service industry in
Oklahoma is the finance, insurance and real estate group, fueled by costs associated with the transfer of
property and increasing demand for office space.
