Value of crops isn't an indicator of mouths fed. It indicates in part that they produce high value crops such as nuts and fruits, among other things. (at huge expense due to importing water).
California has about 8 million acres of farmland, and produced about $1.3B in hay & haylage. Kansas meanwhile has about 28 million acres of farmland (more than North Dakota, so I expect an apology) and only produced about $700 million in hay & hayage.
In other words, California is just better and more efficient at farming. Kansas is making junk corn to make ethanol and feed livestock. It is no where near "feeding the world"

You mean conservative California farmers are more productive. The majority conservative farmers in California not concerned with identity politics?

What point are you all trying to prove? Nobody says California AG isn't impressive. However, they definitely don't "feed the world" when you look at the weighting of the types of crops grown.
2022 dollars - looks like mostly fruits and nuts to me? These things drive dollars and don't grow well in Kansas.
nuts - 8.1b
fruits - 3.1b
vegetables - 3.4b
rice - 561m
beef and veal - 494m
cotton -467m
All other 3.6b

Only because they literally drain other arable areas of its resources to farm.
I remember when the world "sustainable" meant something to you people.
You progressives should move to Sweden, if you love your violent immigrants that much. They shot to the top of the Rape charts.
