I thought we here in Texas got most of our watermelon from Mexico which is also the source of most of the good beer around here.
According to the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, Texas ranks
No. 1 in the nation in watermelon production. The fruit was
an $87.5 million crop in 2018, according to an AgriLife
Extension economic report, with other melons adding more
than $5 million to that crop value.
They even grow pineapples way down in the south part of Texas.
