I can't imagine 1/3 of everything you see in an entire state being corn.
Try driving through it. It's horrible.
Drove through North Dakota once. It was all corn for hours. Absolutely stupid amounts.
Having lived in Chicagoland, what are the corn growing incentives there?! Every empty field in the city is full of corn. Seems smart.
Drainage and flood risk. Chicago is basically a swamp. Idk about every lot, there's probably ridiculous tax loopholes and kick backs, etc what with it being Illinois. But there's a lot of shit land in and around Chicago
This makes me wonder what the map creator considers a green amount of corn to be lol. 100%?
0.4 and 0.7% are different colors, but 10 and 37% are the same
To be fair, corn is yellow
And how do we have NO DATA about the crops growing in any state?
Corn has consumed anyone who could answer.
Could you imagine living in Hawaii and not having readily available corn fields? How would I do all my corn field based activities?
I was literally just thinking that we need more corn fields here
Ohio is nice this time of year and all the kids are taking about it.
Shut your damn mouth nobody ever liked it here.
No Data = Stealth Corn
Honestly it fits my theory that one of the Dakotas doesn't really exist.
It's probably where all the birds are controlled from.
One of them certainly shouldn't exist. The fact that that area is split into two states is only to have two more Republican Senators.
State borders are strange. Like why the part of Florida in the central time zone isn't just Alabama doesn't make sense to me.
Imaginary corn. Like John Peters, you know, the farmer, grows.
Hard to believe there is no data on corn fields in the home state of the Corn Palace.
Really? Only 0.4%?
Because it sure feels like there's way more corn here than that.
If you’re referring to CA, it’s % of the entire state. Think of how much of CA is arid, mountainous, or otherwise unsuitable for corn or other agriculture.
You're probably seeing mostly grapes, tomatoes, cotton and cannabis, as well as grains that aren't corn?
I definitely see more corn than all of those other things combined. And it's not even for human consumption; it's for the cows.
if the numbers seem low dont forget about soy. and maybe wheat or alfalfa
Get your shit together, Alaska!
Embarrassing
“No data“ it at that point
Why are you telling me which states have no data?
I thought this was about corn?
We are the children...of ethanol.
TIL most US corn is Republican
The second highest on this map, illinois, is a Dem state
To be fair, the corn isn’t growing in the blue part of Illinois
Never been to Chicagoland? Every empty field is filled in with corn. Smash a gas station flat? Now it's a cornfield.
Yes it is. As a resident, I can attest that the corn is growing about damn near everywhere.
Multiple counties in Illinois voted in favor of exploring secession from the state because they don't like how Chicago turns the state blue. It would definitely be a red state without us.
Every state would be a red state without the major cities.
Except Massachusetts apparently.
I was just looking at some of the recent voting data by state and one of the southwestern or Western states was only 6k votes from electing Harris. I think there were only about 100k votes total. Maybe it was Oklahoma?
I find that interesting yet hard to believe.
I tried to search for the info but Google is failing me and I'm too lazy to click a bunch of States on an interactive map.
I just have been looking at numbers on election night or something.
There's still a lot of States that were extremely close and if it weren't for death by a thousand cuts, then Republicans would have no chance of winning. They have to have alll the voter disenfrachising, spiking the 2020 census in blue states, and all the other dirty tricks in order to win.
It's funny that they need all those dirty tricks when they already have the massive electoral college advantage.
And then all that pales in comparison to people not voting. Needs to be mandatory like Australia. Send in a blank ballot if you're so against it but you will do it.
Democrats would have about 15 more house seats too if it weren't for Republican gerrymandering in states like Ohio. Of course now they'll start passing more voting laws in the name of election security while limiting federal oversight in Republican areas.
Oh yeah shit could get real wild. My wife, previously annoyed at best with my guns, just bought a pistol that's appropriate for her small hands. I'm going to get a good rifle. If you are scared of guns try a class. They don't need to be scary once you understand how to be safe.
Get armed, just in case.
I don't agree with the color choice. Green would've been much nicer.
It all should have been shades of yellow.
For the map enthused!
