Most people who attended school in Arizona know the five C’s of the state’s economy: cattle, citrus, climate, copper, and cotton. (I didn’t grow up here, but they were drilled into my head in an Arizona history class at ASU.)
While those were historically the pillars of business in Arizona, times have changed.
What do you think is now the state’s top global export? Check out the story below to see if you’re right.

Join COURIER and 3.14 Action on June 11 for Facts vs. Fiction: The Fight for Science in American Democracy.
Misinformation isn’t just noise. It’s shaping policy decisions that determine who can afford care, which communities are protected, and how our government responds to real-world risks.
This live conversation will examine what’s at stake when facts are ignored and how science-informed leadership has shaped policy on healthcare, climate, agriculture, and public health. At a moment when institutions and public trust are under attack, we’ll explore what happens when decision-making is driven by evidence, what it takes to rebuild trust, and why scientific integrity is essential to democracy.
Stay tuned for more speaker announcements, and don’t miss this conversation.
