methane hotspot

The New Mexico Environment Department has a map that shows airborne methane concentration across the continental US (at a low resolution). The most concentrated hotspot is around the San Juan Generating Station in New Mexico, but the next after that seems to be the middle of the Central Valley (surrounding Kingsburg, California). Are there tertiary sources that discuss this? Arlo James Barnes 01:47, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Share of the nation's agricultural output

The article asserts in the second paragraph that the Central Valley "provides more than half of the fruits, vegetables, and nuts grown in the United States". It cites a document that makes that assertion for California as a whole. Is that assertion true and needs better support? Or is it not true and should be corrected? The assertion seems highly unlikely as there are several other highly productive agricultural areas in California. GauchoBear (talk) 12:56, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
