The area that compromises the Atlantic Providences of Canada as well as northern New England and the Adirondacks of New York is called the Bypassed East. It lies in a transportation shadow thrown by nearby regions. Most of the Bypassed East is part of the Appalachian Highlands' northeastern extension.The climate in the Bypassed East is where polar, continental and maritime weather systems mix. It is sometimes hot, sometimes cold, and normally humid.It differs from the climate of Arizona where it us usually hot and dry. Higher inland elevations further increase the substantial climactic difference between the region's coastal and interior lands. The agriculture's regional importance has continued to decline across most of the Bypassed East. Arizona's agricultural output is evenly distributed between crops and livestock. About 47% of Arizona's agricultural production is in livestock. The other 53% is in crops. Arizona's top five agricultural products are cattle and calves, lettuce, dairy products, cotton, and hay. Its biggest crop is lettuce, comprising about 20% of the state's total crop production.
They also are a leading cotton-producing state ranking 10th in the nation. Hay and greenhouse and nursery production each generate about 1/2 of the revenues provided by cotton. Beef cattle, including calves are the leading source of Arizona farm income, followed by dairy products. Some hogs and sheep and lambs are also produced in the state.
As far as mining goes Copper is the most important mined product of Arizona.
