You obviously know nothing about agriculture in California and believe all the stereotypes about the state so rampant around here.
One problem I see with the map is it doesn’t show any traffic from Southern California along I-10/I-20 corridor to the east coast. I drive it every now and then from DFW to Phoenix and back and can tell you it’s solid 18 wheelers both ways. And, if your not willing to run 80~85 mph better drive on the service road....
“You obviously know nothing about agriculture in California and believe all the stereotypes about the state so rampant around here.”
Your comment is completely unfair. null and void is asking the same question I am and I have zero stereotypes about California and know quite a bit about agriculture in California. I too was surprised to see that LA County - which has seriously fallen from its agricultural heyday ( https://la.curbed.com/2016/4/7/11385560/los-angeles-agricultural-history-urban-farming ) is exporting as much in food products as it is. I wondered if it was from aggregate massing of outside LA products - in other words, LA is a transportation hub and the food products are grown outside of the county.
After all LA County only has 2.2 percent of its land devoted to just over 1,000 farms. Fifty years ago it was over 20 percent. http://www.laalmanac.com/agriculture/ag02.php
null and void is right to be perplexed.
I didn’t write the article. Did you really think I did?
I know I saw mile after mile after mile of almond tress uprooted along I/5 after the almighty state decided that delta smelt were more important than almond groves, farmers livelihoods, or food for people. I guess the pigs also suffered when the supply of almond husks for feed dried up. Probably honey bees as well since they are the major almond pollinator.
