1. I thought Idaho’s was so much higher than oregons

   Tools: R (packages: dplyr, ggplot2, sf, usmap, tools, ggfx, grid, scales)

4. Is there a reason Montana is so low compared to all its neighbours?

5. did not expect northern maine!

   also didn’t expect… jacksonville FL metro area??

6. Washington is a mini California in terms of dominating tech and farming output.

7. I just think they’re neat.

8. if WA every exceeded Idaho production volume, would Idaho have to give up the “famous potato’s” motto?

9. Canada has one province (Prince Edward Island) smaller in area than Delaware, that produces 2.5 billion pounds a year. Rows and rows of potatoes.
