California Central Valley here. Denmark would benefit from fresh produce year round & $59.4 billion from our output. Currently, we produce 1/2 the fruits, nuts and vegetables for the U.S. & we have #UC Davis -the best ag university in the world! Before we sign on, agree to pay our F&A costs, please
