North Dakota is a lot of farmland. According to the state, nearly 90% of its land is devoted to farms and ranches. Driving along I-90, we passed several sunflower fields in bloom. The Dakotas are neck-and-neck for the top spot in U.S. production. Sorry, Kansas.
All those flowers mean a lot of bees and honey, and North
Dakota has the lead here. It’s the only place where we’ve seen a bee hauler
restriction at a truck stop.
Around 79% of the nation’s canola is grown in North Dakota. We
saw field after field of yellow canola blooms.
Friendly people, beautiful countryside, we could live here. Wait, there’s that winter…where “our winter average highs are warmer than you think” mean below freezing in December, January, and February (26, 23, and 28 respectively).
