Today's Food Challenge: What State Am I?

Poultry, nursery and turf production, seafood, dairy, cattle, corn, soybeans, racing and pleasure horse industries play a big role in my economy.

I am known as “America in Miniature."

I am also known as the wealthiest state in the nation as I have the highest median household income.

My leading food item is chicken.  In fact, more than 40% of all my agricultural receipts come from broiler production.

Famous movie line, "crabcakes and football."

Great fruits come from here including watermelons, apples, peaches & cantaloups.

I am the 9th smallest state by area, but the 19th most populous.

Kevin Durant, Michael Phelps, Parker Posey & Pete Sampras were born here.

I employ 350,000 people in agriculture.

14% of my workforce are involved in the food and fiber sector.

My sport is jousting.
