Peppers are easy. Surely Texas has a place where they can grow peppers!
Irwindale has something like 900 voters and is run like a business.
Sriracha racked up ZERO complaints in 30 years at their previous location, yet suddenly FOUR at this new place, and the first couple were logged by the SON of the key person on the city council.
Basically Irwindale is another Bell, California, where everyone in the city gummint was running the place and paying themselves like Boss Hoggs from The Dukes of Hazzard.
Irwindale want$ to be paid off, but i$ too $mart to put it in $o few word$.
I have been tracking oceanic temperatures against rainfall levels on the Central Coast of California for ten years. I can tell you for a fact that although El Nino events may correlate with increased rainfall in California when averaged over many years, there is zero predictive value when it comes to any particular year. The correlation numbers I have calculated are very low.
Is there a kid within 20 miles of Ventura County who hasn’t visited Underwood Family Farms on a field trip and returned with an armload of vegetables they picked themselves? What a great place! I was amazed when I found out that they grow all of Huy Fongs chili peppers.
Did you know that Huy Fong has no marketing or sales budget? Their sales growth over 20 years has all been word of mouth.

Coffee is blended from various different coffee beans to produce the “preferred” taste. There is really no reason why the same can’t be done with peppers - there are plenty of super hot peppers grown in Mexico to blend with more mild peppers grown in the U.S.
Consider East Tennessee, the next breadbasket of America now that soviet California has fallen. Over the long term, Texas may suffer the same fate.
