EVERY state has farms including the biggest one (which is also "blue" ) - California and the 4th biggest - New York (which is "blue" ).

California in particular has to deal with not only wildfires but drought and their crops include citrus, notably oranges (for out-of-hand eating), avocados (the famous "Hass" variety), almonds (90+% of the U.S. market), among others (including grapes for wine, etc).

NY has its apples, grapes, corn, soybeans, etc. They are also undergoing a drought like those of us in the upper Midatlantic.

The Farm Bill is already a year behind.
