Farms
Provide
Arizona farms are important. They provide open
space, green belts, wildlife habitat, buffer zones and contribute to Arizona’s
history and character. Farmland is a tourist
attraction that provides economic and educational benefits. People travel for
hundreds of miles for fresh sweet corn, other fruits and vegetables, and farm
activities. Arizona agriculture provides for quality of life and economy.
Six Generations of Farmers
The Hauser family has been farming for six
generations. Dick and Kevin Hauser farm in the Camp Verde and Paulden areas.
Dick's brothers have farmed in Tolleson and St. Johns for 40 years.
Their father raised and hauled citrus in North Phoenix from 1948 until
retirement. Prior to that, the family farmed in Iowa.
