Texas is a state located in the South Central United States nicknamed the Lone Star State. Austin is the capital. Texas contains diverse landscapes, resembling, in places, both the Deep South and the desert Southwest. Traveling from east to west, one could observe piney woods and semi-forests of oak and cross timbers, rolling plains and prairie, and finally the desert of the Big Bend. The phrase "everything is bigger in Texas" derives in part from the state's geographic sprawl and the wide open spaces of its desert and prairie regions. Texas's large population, abundance of natural resources, and diverse population and geography have led to a large and highly diverse economy. Since the discovery of oil, the state's economy reflected the state of the petroleum industry.
Agriculturally, Texas has the most farms both in number and acreage in the United States. Texas leads the nation livestock production. Cattle is the state's most valuable agricultural product, but the state also leads nationally in production of sheep and goat products. Texas leads as king of cotton leading that nation in production of its leading crop and second-most valuable farm product.
