Hardee County is agricultural Florida at its most fundamental -- an interior landscape of citrus groves, cattle ranches, row crop fields, and the Peace River winding through its center. Rolling sand ridges support remnant longleaf pine and turkey oak, while creek bottoms harbor hardwood hammocks of live oak, red maple, and sweetgum.

Hardee County is agricultural Florida at its most fundamental -- an interior landscape of citrus groves, cattle ranches, row crop fields, and the Peace River winding through its center. Rolling sand ridges support remnant longleaf pine and turkey oak, while creek bottoms harbor hardwood hammocks of live oak, red maple, and sweetgum. Former phosphate mining areas in the northwestern corner create an altered topography of reclaimed clay settling ponds and revegetated spoil piles.
Citrus greening continues to devastate remaining groves, forcing landowners to remove trees and decide between replanting, converting to alternative crops, or selling for other uses. Cattle ranchers need constant fence line and pasture maintenance. Row crop farming (watermelon, blueberry, sod) is expanding into former citrus acreage. The county's low land costs and relaxed regulations attract agricultural operations displaced from more urbanized counties. Limited residential development occurs around Wauchula as workforce housing.
The Peace River corridor serves as the county's primary environmental feature, with floodplain protections and riparian buffer requirements enforced by SWFWMD. Former and active phosphate mining areas in the Fort Green vicinity are subject to reclamation requirements under state mining regulations. Hardee County's agricultural character means most clearing falls under silvicultural or agricultural exemptions, but wetland impacts along creek bottoms and the Peace River still require environmental resource permits. Gopher tortoise populations are common on sandy upland ridges between agricultural parcels.
Soil: Zolfo fine sand -- named for the town of Zolfo Springs -- is a moderately well-drained spodosol characteristic of the county's flatwoods. Pomello and Immokalee fine sands appear on slightly elevated positions. Hardee County's agricultural productivity depends on the Felda, Pineda, and Winder soils found in lower positions with higher water retention. Phosphatic clay settling areas in the northwest contain man-made soils with dramatically different characteristics from native terrain. Peace River alluvial deposits include sandy loam with good fertility.

Hardee County operates with minimal tree regulation -- one of the least restrictive land use environments in central Florida. Agricultural and silvicultural clearing exemptions cover the vast majority of projects. SWFWMD environmental resource permits are required for wetland impacts, particularly along the Peace River floodplain and creek systems. Gopher tortoise relocation permits from FWC apply when clearing upland sandy parcels. Former phosphate mining sites may carry deed restrictions or reclamation obligations that affect clearing plans.
