It's world octopus day! Here is a one I saw while scuba diving this summer in the Gulf of California, Mexico (aka Sea of Cortez aka Vermilion Sea). This one was very chill and not at all bothered by me watching them. I love it when they are out in the daytime!

That was my point...it's counties, not voters. Each of those counties has many non-farmers. Counties are not people.

How do you know? The only statistic I've seen is for farming dependent counties, not individual voters. We surmise most did, but don't have any real stats, unlike the military, which we know was about 2/3.
