| The Mexican state of Jalisco is one of the primary sources of the agave plant, from which tequilla is made. The area around Guadalajara is also home to a number of other crops, including (but not limited to) coffee and sugar. In the past couple decades, more and more farmers in the area began converting from boroughs to machines and pickup trucks. But they found that the machines would crush the plants instead of just harvesting them - that the trucks couldn't get up the steep and narrow hillsides. So there's now a shortage of borroughs - in fact, enough so that they're beginning to import donkies from Kentucky to breed with domestic mares so that they can reinvigorate the industry. cranked out at 2:42 PM | |
