> California produces over 13% of the nation's agricultural production value. California's top 20 crop and livestock commodities account for more than $25 billion in value. [0]

How do you plan to replace the $25 billion a year in food California produces?

And as for your alfalfa export claim...

> Based on USDA data for 2021, only 3.9% of all U.S. hay produced and 6.4% of all alfalfa hay entered the export market. [1]

Show me where I said we need to stop growing all crops in the state. I'll wait.

I was addressing your belittling of California's food production and its importance.

> No, we will not starve to death if California stops growing almonds and pistachios.

California is effectively the sole source of: almonds, olives, peaches, artichokes, dates, pomegranates, raisins, sweet rice, pistachios, plums and walnuts. [0]

Again, show me where I did this. I'll continue to wait.

I quoted you for posterity.
