Editing Tulare County, California (section)

==Economy==

The dairy industry, with sales of milk products, brings in the most revenue for the county, typically more than US$1 billion a year annually. Oranges, grapes, and cattle-related commodities also earn hundreds of millions of dollars annually.

In 2001, Tulare became the most productive county in the U.S. in terms of agricultural revenues, at US$3.5 billion annually. It surpassed [[Fresno County]]'s US$3.2 billion, which had held the top spot for over two decades. Due to the importance of agriculture in the county as well as its location in the state, since 1968 the city of [[Tulare, California|Tulare]] has been the site of the annual [[World Ag Expo]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.worldagexpo.com/|title=International Agri-Center / Tulare, CA|website=www.worldagexpo.com}}</ref> the world's largest agricultural exposition.

Minor league sports teams, such as the baseball [[Visalia Rawhide]] of the class-A level [[California League]] (an affiliate to the [[Arizona Diamondbacks]]), two teams of the [[Minor League Football Association]] in Tulare and Visalia, and four teams of the [[Central California Basketball League]] based in Porterville, attract many residents and add to the amenities in the county. {{Citation needed|date=April 2008}}
