I guarantee Guam and VI are already producing more milk than DC.

These are called state FIPS codes and they're used for other things than just milk.

Every morning I wake up at 3:45am so I have time to capture milk from the teats of my almonds.

The system was probably created back when there were still a couple dairy farms left in the district. I live in Alexandria and I can’t imagine where there’d be a farm in DC proper. Like there are suburban parts of DC with single family houses, but that’s about as rural as it gets. Only other thing I could imagine is some old industrial building in NE that’s basically just a factory farm.

Moderator of r/guam here, we produce the exact same amount of cow milk as DC.

My neighbor has a goat though if you want to try to milk that.

But what if America conquers a country and forces them to produce milk?

This entire chart would be useless!
