However, top on the list is agricultural service
firms which account for $14 million or 35 percent

sector. Not only does the vegetable farming
sector spread more of its purchases over more
sectors as compared to the dairy farming sector,
vegetable farmers purchase more of their inputs
from the Genesee County economy. Based on
estimates from 1997 data, 44 percent of all
vegetable farming expenditures are spent in the
local Genesee economy, compared to 23 percent
for the dairy farming sector.
