Temperature (and, particularly for many crops, frequency and duration of freezes) is an important consideration in growing crops. Water is important, too, but its not the only consideration in agriculture.

But Minnesota is one of the top agriculture states and being up north, they have more severe winters.

It also has a very different crop mix than California.

Yeah, Cali has oranges and berries and whatnot. Good luck trying to get those to grow in Mn year round without a diesel heater.
