Covering over 32% of the states' landmass, agriculture is the largest single industry in Virginia. In recent years soybeans and corn have passed tobacco as Virginia's main cash crop (though Virginia remains fourth on the list of tobacco growing states in the US). Virginia ranks 20th out of the fifty states in soybean production yielding approximately $136 million in 2008.
