Thought some of you might find this information interesting. Now we need a map of local/regional sources for a Thanksgiving meal. 

Cheers,

Where does Thanksgiving Dinner Grow? 

Linda Zellmer, Government Information and Data Services Librarian at Western Illinois University, has used data from the 2007 Census of Agriculture and a geographic information system to develop a set of maps showing where the foods consumed at the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, such as turkey, cranberries, squash, and green beans, are grown. A comprehensive poster including all of the maps shows where all of the Thanksgiving foods are grown in the United States. The maps and posters based on data from the 1997, 2002 and 2007 Census of Agriculture are available on her web site at: 
http://faculty.wiu.edu/LR-Zellmer/thanksgiving.html . 

The comprehensive poster titled "Where does Thanksgiving Dinner Grow?" is available at:

For more information about her research, or about government and legal information, please contact Linda Zellmer at LR-Zellmer at wiu.edu or 309-298-2723 .
