Found this today and thought it was interesting.

It shows 40 maps that explain where our food comes from in America, how farming has changed over the last 50 years, and several other interesting ideas.

Very cool. It took me a while to go through them all, but very informative.

I have not seen this....*LOVE*!! Thanks for posting. It's amazing how far we've come from traditional farming to feed local communities to genetically engineered cash crops.

Really, really interesting. I have to say, I must have lived under a rock for my entire life. I've lived in MN for 40 of my 60 years and I have NEVER heard of Blue Moon beer ... and it's all across the Midwest. go figure. I guess I'm gonna have to check it out !! But some of the graphs are really surprising. Thnx for sharing. I also shared on FB.
