Not really...N.J. is called THE GARDEN STATE because of all the farms there.N.Y. and Conn. and Pa. are also farm country.And as to water,wrong again...potable water doesn't originate in red states at all...unless you're talking about what parts of Cal.,which is also loaded with vineyards and farms,import for its arid parts.

Please don't make such false,broad statements,my old friend.It only incites me to correct the erroneous data.;^)

check out map on post 11...
perhaps red counties would be more accurate for me to say...
but you see the balance of tillable soil power.

Percentage wise, the vast majority of the nation's food... comes from the red (counties). Even if they may be blue states. MANUFACTURING largely comes from the blue counties, AKA cities.

The headwaters for the rivers... are largely sourced in the red counties as well.
I have seen this for decades, everytime I fly over it.
Without the food and water that flows from the reds, the blues would be deads.
