Economy

In 2020, the total value of products produced in Hidalgo was $11.5 billion.[19]

In 1982, 91% of the land was in farms and ranches, with 52% of the farmland under cultivation and 85% irrigated; 51 to 60% of the county was considered prime farmland. The primary crops were sorghum, cotton, corn, and vegetables; Hidalgo County led Texas counties in the production of cabbage, onions, cantaloupes, carrots, and watermelons. The primary fruits and nuts grown in the county were grapefruit, oranges, and pecans. Cattle, milk cows, and hogs were the primary livestock products.[7] Hidalgo is the highest-producing county in the state for oilseeds and dry beans.[20]

The Southern Cattle Tick (Rhipicephalus microplus) is invasive here.[21] Populations here have also become highly permethrin resistant.[21] In 2014 the problem had become so severe in Cameron that spread here (and to other neighboring counties) was feared.[21] A Temporary Preventative Quarantine Area was established in Cameron to preserve efficacy in these counties.[21] This was unsuccessful however, due at least in part to the ticks' infestation of wildlife including whitetail (Odocoileus virginianus).[21]
