As other staples soar, potatoes break new ground | Reuters
I was thinking that if some of these rust belt cities like Youngstown (see below) decide to clear away the burned out houses maybe they could use the land to plant potatoes. Just a thought.
I suppose setting up a factory on that land is out of the question. After all, China has such an advantage, being so much closer to the US market. China is a mere 7,000 miles or so away. How can a distant province like Youngstown, Ohio, possibly compete for sales in the American heartland?
Meaning that maybe there is a better way to revive the local economy than knocking down houses, asking people to move out, and making more open space.
