Pecans are nearly a 1:1 replacement for almonds in the food system. But unlike almonds, pecans can grow nearly everywhere in the eastern US.

So why did we wind up with a massive CA almond industry & a tiny eastern pecan one?

One might think that California benefits from this deficiency of growers in the South. In fact, it *hurts* our state to be producing so much food for the rest of the country & world. If the South were doing more, it would chase some of our less productive farms out (hopefully). https://twitter.com/SarahTaber_bww/status/1413671340020731907
