Nationally, horticultural production is the fastest growing area in agriculture. Nursery and landscape companies generate $2.1 billion for Minnesota's economy (PDF: 173 KB, 5 pages). The industry is expected to experience significant growth in sales during the next five years. Larger sales and more growth indicate the need for more year-round and seasonal employees in the horticultural field.
