And obviously you seem to not see the irrigated land from your viewpoint on the ground.

Google earth can help ya with that.

You actually responded to HighnLite though. Not me.

No it was you, I just went all the way back because your beating a dead horse about something you dont know.

Agree but I watched a documentary recently about him and he is truly a happy man.

I think he would have been healthier if he had kept himself slender. In the documentary he became addicted to pain pills. Then a very good surgeon got him off the pills and performed a modern day surgery and had him up and walking.

Yeah. He saw him recently getting off a bus in a wheelchair. He was kinda large, but you can get into a bit of a cycle with weight gain due to inactivity.

He was a different type of back than Tony Dorsett, man he ran hard. Kinda more like a younger Franco Harris. But Earl wore himself out running so hard.

Texas Top 10 Cash Crops
#1 crop is cotton, which I never enjoyed eating ...
#2 is hay, which I also never cared for on my plate ...
#'s 3, 4, and 5 are all grain crops, which are the human dietary equivalent of G. W. Bush's "Axis of Evil"
#6 is marijuana ... which is edible, I am told, but more of an appetite stimulant -- which could I guess drive one to eat just about anything including crops #1-5 above
#7 is peanuts which is a legume lots of folks are allergic to and infamous for seriously dangerous molds -- almonds are the better choice by a long shot ...
#8 is rice ... Good stuff except for paleo-diet people, and Texas is a great producer ...
#9 is soybeans, which is a cousin to the dietary Axis of Evil, but does have some acceptable uses ...
#10 is pecans ... Now we're talkin' real food!
So, coupla worthy crops is it for eating' ...
California is really#1. In Texas you list Marijuana as #6 Cash Crop. California beats them as in California it is #1 Cash Crop for the state.
CNBC SAYS - MARIJUANA = LARGEST CASH CROP IN CA - YouTube

How about the fact, that dairy and cattle make up 20% of California agriculture, with Dairy #1 and Cattle #5 of all legal ag.

Then all the hay and grain they grow there to feed those animals. Then cotton is the #9 biggest crop in California.

California grows a wider variety of cash crops, but they also grow a lot of what you are running down about Texas, as well as Marijuana being their #1 Cash crop.

There are a whole lot of dairies in Tulare County for sure.

Whose running down Texas anyway? I said they irrigate crops in Texas and someone said they don't, lol.
