[quote=DESTRUCKDOZ,251466]Anybody ever heard of "Gilroy?" Well its the garlic capital of the world. Back in the mid 90's this area was prized for the work that was available and at competitive pay. There was a need for pickers, cleaners packers, every position needed that was related to garlic. Garlic was not the only thing grown, other crops such as corn, artichokes, bell peppers, mushrooms etc were in the area as well. Coming into the early 2000's when China started to "dump" garlic into the US economy, this area started to deteriorate rapidly. Garlic growers could not compete with the low cost of Chinese grown garlic which forced many to pack up and sell there land. Others who's 100's of acres that grew garlic in the previous years now grew one of the many other crops that other farmers grew which made farming more competitive. Now that it is 2007. over half of these farmers have packed up and left leaving all these lands bare.

Its not just China that should be the target, central and south America should be put on the list as well.
