The rain prone areas are too cold for much of the year.

Hydroponics allow you grow crops in PVC pipes with a lot less water wastage and theoretically maybe even move them around on trucks. You could grow something on a parking lot.

Could be the future if climate change results in unpredictable weather and you don’t want to lose your crop to an early frost.

Northern Ontario has tons of lakes, nice summers and lots of rock to anchor humongous hydroponic towers to.

I really like hydroponics, but you never (rarely?) see it used to grow heavier, food-dense foods like potatoes, or anything that grows on a tree. It’s all leafy salad greens and strawberries. I don’t really know why that is.

Maybe because they’d have to be sealed against light to grow root vegetables.

Or too hot. Lots of crops grown on california would be happy in Georgia if not for the heat.
