I wish my info was more current but Michigan is one of those traditional "industrial" states due to having plenty of water necessary for "factory" operations. Now that we are no longer an industrial-nation, I'm not sure. The near-north has always been great for orchards - especially cherry. Steel mills once roamed the Saginaw/Bay City area. Farming was always big in the south - especially corn and onion-farming in the first half of the twentieth-century. Dairy production is also big thoughout the south.
Perhaps someone else has more current information?
