looks so familiar to me. You see miles of this traveling up and down CA and we are the 4th biggest economy in the world. Yet there is no one out there right now (still broad daylight) picking. They have scared the farmworkers off and food doesn't pick itself!

40% of fruits and vegetables are grown in California, for the whole country, very simple math.
