The sun shines a lot more in California and Arizona (those are yer big Colorado river agricultural states) than it does other places. So, with enough water, the yield per acre of land per year is rather high.

The same sun shines during a lot more of the year in CA and AZ. Folks like their year-round fresh vegetables.

Even with a good hot house in the middle West or the north East, the yield per acre per year won't be as high. Until the water runs out in the Western states, after which I reckon it'll be quite a bit higher.
