Urban agriculture in major U.S. cities
Almost every major American city has some sort of agrcultural program. Most state colleges provide some assistance through their extention programs to gardeners in urban regions. The Agricultural Research Service (ARS), the research arm of the USDA, divides their work into 5 geographic areas: Midwest Area, Northeast Area, Pacific West Area, Plains Area, and Southeast Area. Even though many urban projects have little or no affiliation with ARS, for simplicity this article has adopted these same geographic divisions.

What follows are the 51 most populous cities in the US plus, for states missing, the largest city in those remaining states.

Pacific West Area: WA, OR, AK, HI, CA, AZ, UT, ID, NV

Cooperative extension services, by state
TABLE: Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service

The table summarizes the cooperative extension programs in each state. (Under the 1890 amendment to the Morrill Act, if a state's land-grant university was not open to all races, a separate land-grant university had to be established for each race. Hence, some states have more than one land-grant university.)
