North Dakota is #1 in Honey Production

North Dakota is the number one (#1) producer of honey for the sixth year in a row! North Dakota and California vie for this honor every year, but this is the first year in memory (first year ever?) that California slipped out of 2nd place. California was taken over by South Dakota, which is now #2 in production, behind North Dakota. The race was not even close.

North Dakota: 35 million pounds.
South Dakota: 17 million pounds.
California: 11 million pounds.
