Brainerd is a place I would drive by on the way north to Backus, MN to go fishing.
Brainerd had a large Paul Bunyan statue. I remember as a kid having Paul Bunyan say happy birthday to me one year.

Yeah, I went to the site and still couldn’t see the maps. I wanted to see if they were honest about my county. We get the garbage other grocers refuse. One week, chips might fill up a whole aisle. The next week, we’ll be without dairy. Welcome to VenezuTexas.
The red spot in TX is the Houston shipyard where we get imports from other countries.

No, I thought you were clueless about agriculture in LA County since you seemed to express surprise that LA County could possibly ship more agricultural goods that it brings in. It was the top agricultural county in the country until the 1950s. It still has lots of farmland. At almost 5,000 sq miles the county is more than just the homeless downtown.

I don’t believe in classifying endless stuff, but I would have this study classified.... Too detailed and easy for an enemy to use.
Except read this forum I suppose.
New Jersey. The garden state
the second largest food exporter in the world is holland.
How does that happen. Holland has a tiny fraction of the land in the USA.
The reason for this is that holland is the wall to wall with green houses these days. green houses produce 10 times the food that an open air one season acre of land produces.
There is another reason.
Amsterdam is the port through which the food from spain’s altimera region comes. Altimera is the place where sergi leone shot his spaghetti westerns. its a desert. but they have placed so many greenhouses there that they can be seen from space. unlike the high tech greenhouses of holland —these are mostly low tech. But there are so many of them that they produce about half of the vegetables that europe consumes. those vegetables enter through hollands main port at amsterdam.
Thus amerstdam is the second greatest food exporter in the world.
likely its food reexporting that makes LA a major exporter. the source of their food is likely mexico, the rest of latin america and asia.
If you think people could grow their own food in just the time they now use to play video games?
Not a chance, they would starve.
There is a reason over 70% of our population used to be in the food production business.
There is a reason New Jersey is called the Garden State. It’s far from entirely being refineries, slums, and suburban sprawl. With California in the grip of a leftist state government and arguably suffering the wrath of God, the need for other states to develop fruit and vegetable production is incumbent. Not to sound like a liberal, but suburban growth has taken away farmland near the major cities. Why can’t, say, northern Missouri, within a day’s drive of the Great Lakes cities and the Texas Triangle, develop a more active orchard, vineyard, and vegetable agriculture?
Fair enough!
#48 Cool!
Here are some photos.

Since the beginning of time, people have grown their own food on their own land and didn’t starve.
And nowadays some yutes play video games hours on end, 365 days a year...plenty of time to grow a garden.
