Announcing the definitive strawberry, sunflower, watermelon, pumpkin and popcorn capitals of the country. (Plus about 120 more.)
Monterey County farmers in California grew more strawberries than former champion Florida, where this strawberry grew in 2019. By Andrew Van Dam Andrew Van Dam Reporter focusing on economic data Email Bio Follow May 3 at 7:00 AM Congratulations, Colquitt County, Ga. You’re the turnip-green capital of America! And Cumberland, N.J.? You did it! You lead the nation in escarole and endive.
Redundant, limited or obscure categories were eliminated. The USDA sometimes suppresses data for smaller geographic areas to prevent folks from gathering intel on specific farmers. To limit data suppression, we’ve restricted our search to the county level. They don’t grow many strawberries in the rocky soil of the Ozark foothills these days. The real honors go to Monterey County, Calif., where wide-open fields and powerful farming interests harvest more acres of strawberries than the rival California counties of Ventura and Santa Barbara, and more than Florida champion Hillsborough County, home to the city of Tampa.
The Midwest is littered with would-be popcorn capitals, from North Loup, Neb., to Marion, Ohio, but the latest data show a surge in production has propelled Pulaski County, in northwest Indiana, into the lead. The two previous censuses placed the popcorn capital in the central Illinois county of Mason.The overall corn title is more complicated. If you look at grain corn, Brown County in northeast South Dakota takes the top spot, but the nation’s sweet corn capital is now Palm Beach County, Fla.
