 | | Miami-Dade County is referred to as the nation’s “Salad Bowl” and “Winter Bread Basket.” Miami-Dade County has a long history of vegetable production, especially winter tomatoes for export to northern areas, which dates back to the late 1800s. |
 | | As the county is favorably geographically positioned for transportation, climate, and water supply to support a likely aquaculture enterprise, other issues such as international trade, economics, land value, regulations, and changing market outlets have kept the industry fairly stable. |
 | | In 1950, the county had 49 diary operations with 10,000 milk cows, but by 1960 there were only 4 remaining. |
