Agriculture in California is relatively unimportant, according to 2008 BEA statistics cited at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gross_Domestic_Product_of_California_2008_%28millions_of_current_dollars%29.svg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gross_Domestic_Product_of_... - just 2% of California's notional GDP. I think I have read 4% from another source, but either way it is marginal. I tend to think that the comments on electoral statistics have this right. It is an attempt to tilt the Senate and Electoral College.
