The birthplace of root beer, Elvis Presley, and the blues, Mississippi is coveted for its mild climate, sandy Gulf beaches, Southern hospitality, and rich soil. Indeed, the state’s economy has been rooted in agriculture since it was first settled, thanks in part to its deep, fertile soil and extended growing season. Cotton and soybeans are among the predominant crops raised here, but Mississippi is also home to more tree farms than any other state in the U.S., and more than 60 percent of all farm-raised catfish are produced in Mississippi. Jackson is both the state capital and largest city in Mississippi, with a metro population of over a half-million. The other major population center of Mississippi is along the Gulf Coast, with the Gulfport-Biloxi area serving as home to nearly 400,000 people.
