Fort Knox is surrounded by a region with significant agricultural potential, offering opportunities for agribusiness development. Kentucky’s agricultural sector has shown remarkable growth, with the market value of agricultural products reaching $8 billion in 2022, a 40% increase from 2017. The state’s diverse agricultural landscape includes 69,425 farms covering 12.4 million acres, with an average farm size of 179 acres. Key commodities in the area include corn, with Kentucky producing over 280 million bushels in 2023, averaging 187 bushels per acre. Soybeans are also a major crop, with the state ranking 14th nationally in production and planting 1.83 million acres in 2023. Fort Knox’s strategic location, spanning parts of Bullitt, Hardin, and Meade counties, positions it well to leverage these agricultural resources and contribute to the region’s growing agribusiness potential.
