Of all the crops produced in West Virginia, marijuana has already exceeded crops such as corn and hay. In fact, West Virginia ranks in the top 10 of marijuana-producing states in the nation. Pot producers have been raking in around $494 million per year while hay producers only took in $68 million and corn producers barely scraped by with $10.7 million.

$494 million! That's a heck of a lot of money for a single crop in the great state of West Virginia. It averages out to an pot income of around $21,000 a square mile. With Hampshire County being just over 2,600 square miles, and all other things being equal, it's share of the overall production is $54 million.
