Yes! I was looking for this comment. I live smack in California central valley. Farms here flex continuously with a multitude of crops. Strawberry, walnuts, cherry, and almond are top long-runners. There are also so many unexpected other high value crops here; like blueberry, spinach, sugar beet, olives, garlic, pistachios, etc.

Del Monte was only one processor. But every one of their factories continues on doing something else that's currently in abundance here.

If local market isn't demanding, one final attempt is the export market. We are currently doing this with alfalfa (hay), rice, and wine.

And on a final fruit note, pears are slowly following the fate of peaches. Dont know why. Currently Brazil and Mexico just make 'em better.
