Tolivac, there is a thriving garment industry in Los Angeles and California is a major cotton producer. NAS Lemoore, east of Fresno, is surrounded by cotton fields.
 
Well,HD motorcycles can be truely termed a product "Assembled in the USA from globally sourced components"! didn't realize that.
Cotton is a crop that likes to grow in either hot,humid areas-or hot dry areas-sometimes you see lots of cotton crops here-its the crop rotation to keep the soil here fertile.Hardly see tobacco grown at all out here anymore-that used to be the king cash crop here.Now its soybeans,peanuts,corn,cotton.-then occasionally tobacco.That is another crop that likes hot growing conditions-but no too dry or it dies.A big threat to tobacco is the tobacco hornworm moth or "tobbacco fly" as the locals here call them.The tobacco moths are closely related to the tomato hornworm moths-both can destroy the crops quickly when in the worm larvae stage.The moth-esp females lay their eggs on the crops.The tobacco stalks are promply "disced" after the harvest-the discing destroys the moth pupae.But won't get them all.Often it goes to handpicking-folks out here tell about it.I just can't get into picking up fleshy,soft green worms as big around as your thumb and several in long--GROSS!!!!!!When picked they get stompted,poisoned,or one fellow loved throwing the worms down the exhaust stack of his JD deisel tractor and gunning it--the flaming worm shot high into the air-but don't let it land on you-YUCCHH!!
 
When I was a kid my neighbors mom was growing some tomatos in the back yard. We used to take those big fat worms and either heat them up good with a magnifying glass or we'de light up the barbie and toss them on the grill until they popped.

Ok, now back to talking about vacuums, lol.
