Essay paragraph

            Barry Estabrook originally opened his book with an experience he had while behind a truck on the road. He explains how he saw “what seemed to be green Granny Smith apples”. This was until he got closer and realized the green “Granny Smith apples” were really green tomatoes that, despite having fallen ten feet out of a truck going sixty, had hardly any damage done to them when a fall of that kind should have had the fruits splattered. This then addresses the first of the cost differences that organic farmers have over the tomato producers. According to Google maps a Drive from Moscow, Idaho to Florida, where most of the books tomato producers were mentioned, is two thousand eight hundred ninety four miles away. Whereas locally grown could range from six hundred to fifty miles away. That being said the closer the farm the less traveling would mean there would be less of a necessary transportation budget required. Though when traveling farther the other buisnesses do have a higher offer of amount of tomatoes to sell over organic.
