Defense is a surprisingly large use of land. How is that? Can anyone explain the most land intensive uses of the Armed Forces? Like tank training areas maybe?

I think the graphic would be better if some of the data were nested by size and relationship. IOW Agricultural land would have grazing, food production, feed production, etc. in decreasing size nested over an area. Might give greater sense of how much land is used for ag. Same for forestry; Forestry, parks, commercial logging, etc.
God I miss living in the west.
Tobacco is still at least 2,000x too big.
hugging the west coast, there are tons of cow farms, and a small part of cali is for the military, SEAL training.
This makes my eyes bleed
No, we use it to vote.
Yeah Maine is so well known for it's urban housing
And Nevada for its timberland.
is Alaska included? or are we just ignored because of our small population?
