Thank you for this thorough analysis and the great visuals. This is exactly the kind of data journalism that sparks my curiosity. I am working on an analysis of rainfall totals by state over the last 20 years and comparing it to agricultural land prices to see what, if any correlation there may be. This is just a personal project for my data portfolio and I am curious about how you went about accessing all the climate data used in your post. I have searched through the NOAA datasets available online as well as the climate.gov data, and have struggled to find anything related to state annual rainfall data except for some satellite image composites.
