When I think about the US's arguement I think, as far as the states are concerned, that its not necessarily a geographic representation at heart, but state recognition. I think growers and farmers in individual states take pride in the fact that they produce produce (is there a better way to say that?) in their state and contribute to their state's economy. I bet a lot of it comes down to representation at market. Kind of a sign that says "made in (insert state here) and proud of it." Of course marketing is intertwined as a farmer is going to believe that the best (whatever) are grown in his state. I dunno, just a possibility.
