Quote:Whereabouts in Central California do you live, if you don't mind me asking. I was stationed at NAS Lemoore, about 25 miles south of Fresno, for almost eight years. What a glorious place in the summer. I don't think most people understand what a huge agricultural producer the central valley is. Fruits and vegetables, dairy, meat, cotton...it goes on and on.

 

I'm in what we refer to as the Westside, no real city. About 30 miles due West of Fresno on the San Joaquin River. But I'm certainly familiar with Lemoore too. 

 

You're right, most people don't realize how much is produced here, even people that live here are kind of oblivious to it. I get the strangest looks when I tell people what I do.
