>>Do I have to beat you guys over the head with this ?? by its own statistical count, California Agriculture accounted for 13% of national agricultural output in 2003. So in reality, 12% of the population of this country produces 13% of the cash value of food. Do you think this statistic is supposed to impress me ?? I mean, figs and grapes and pistachios subsidized with illegal immigrant labor and all you can fricking manage is to outperform your per-capita production by 1% Give me a FREAK'EN break !!<< That's another great oversimplification. California is the second largest exporter in total goods behind Texas, not just the largest in agri goods. It has a highly diversified economy. So this 12% of the population produces the most in agriculture AND in addition is in total the second largest state exporter in the country. BTW exporting more than 3.5 times as much as Illinois. wtcno.org tse.export.gov
