I also wonder if people are so ignorant that they don't even know how to pick the produce. I can't imagine this country having a food crisis but if it did how many would be able grow a "victory" garden or even a tomato plant. and then harvest it when it is ripe.
I just drove through Texas this past week. we went all the way to McAllen. for any who don't know that IS the "Valley" where all of the produce is grown via irrigation from the Rio Grande river. there wasn't an abundance of produce in the fields yet. I saw a field of cabbage. I don't think many people realize how hard it is to grow pick pack and or prepare a crop to get to market.
