Though our number of agricultural operations decreased by 17 percent from 2012 to 2017, the total land in farms increased by 4 percent. In 2017, Nevada's agriculture sector contributed $665.7 million to the state's economy in direct receipts. The three largest contributors were cattle and calves at 49 percent, dairy at 18 percent, and hay at 18 percent.
What does agriculture look like in Nevada? The top counties with land in farms are Elko, Humboldt, Eureka, Washoe, and Pershing. Agriculture grows throughout the state, but Elko (PDF, 911 KB), in the most northeastern corner, is the top county with 2.2 million acres in farm land. That's out of this world! Ag Census data show 93 percent of Nevada farms are family farms and 83 percent have internet access.

The Area 51 Raid Was the Worst Way to Spot an Alien or UFO | WIRED
Normally, when you turn onto Highway 375 from Crystal Springs, in Nevada, a big green road sign sits near picnic tables and shade trees baking under the relentless desert sun. EXTRATERRESTRIAL HIGHWAY, the sign reads, in a retro-futuristic font suggestive of a space computer. This road was so named—around the time Independence Day came out—because it's the stretch of asphalt closest to Area 51.
This week, though, the sign disappeared, removed in advance of the Storm Area 51 events taking place in the towns of Rachel and Hiko, Nevada. Officials were afraid that too many people would stop to pose for selfies, snarling the intersection. If the festivities so far, including Friday's early-morning "attempt" to "breach" the base, are any indication, that is exactly the kind of trouble officials should have been worried about.
