I can't understand one of the largest states in US with a farm belt the size of Ohio (California) can't put together a region, with some well recognized hybridizers.
Think about how many states would fit inside the boarders of California...
Anyway to end this I would like to see Arizona and New Mexico make a region or New Mexico join region 7 but guess what you need AHS permission to change regional boundaries..
This is off topic and I will end this, but my thoughts...
