I originally considered this, but raw totals tell more of the story here. For producers, the overall amount of direct-to-consumer sales is more indicative of where markets exist. If standardized, this would produce higher values in places that have little population and/or GDP - where perhaps one producer is selling to Lexington - so it would look like there is a lot of good local production going on, but in reality its just dominated by on producer. I tried standardizing by number of farmers, but these values were all quite close and didn't produce any meaningful story.
It looks like you're mapping raw dollars there? Can we standardize those quantities (such as by the total GDP of a county)?
