I have a book called “The Last days OF The Great State OF Calif”
Had it for years.
Topic is the agricultural production of the state & who buys it all.
California does export. It’s a very large state with plenty
of ports from which to do it.
If push came to shove, do you believe it would be an asset
to have California’s food as a fall back resource?
Whatever goes to the U. S. is good, but some folks dismiss
products like hay with a grin, because people don’t eat it.
Live stock does.
