What are called truck farms that produce highly perishable fruits and vegetables that suffer from a loss of quality when shipped for great distances will always be in demand in highly populated areas. They can be vine or tree ripened, picked, prepared and served at their peak. Where there are major population centers much of the crop production is used to support things like dairy production (hay and silage) or grains for egg and broiler facilities.
