Examples: "Over 18,000 acres (~7,280 ha) of blueberries are grown in Michigan, the largest blueberry-producing state in the US." http://www.blueberries.msu.edu/introduction.html "Michigan was the number-one producer of blueberries, followed by New Jersey, Oregon, Georgia, and Washington. On the other side of the nation, Maine accounted for a large majority of wild blueberry production." http://business.highbeam.com/industry-reports/agriculture/berry-crops "Michigan ranks first in the nation in the production of black beans, cranberry beans, light red kidney beans, blueberries, tart cherries, cucumbers, squash, Niagara grapes, flowering hanging baskets, geraniums and impatiens." http://levin.senate.gov/issues/index.cfm?MainIssue=Agriculture |
