Sugar beets are the vegetable equivalent of zeppelins: Is it truly an alternate history without them?

I was gonna enter this with an aquaculture based entry, but then Upvote entered and the quality just skyrocketed and suddenly my measly coral farms seemed a bit lame. All the mapmakers have made some brilliant work here.
I gotta say: Enter anyway.
A "good" map with a kick-butt write-up always has a chance. Especially when it's a unique concept. I've voted against what was probably the "most beautiful" map on several occasions when there was another good map with great ideas. Hell, in MotF 162, I almost voted for a map with a giant red blinking Paraguay.
Coral farms? That's a great idea. (And had you worked sugar beets in somehow, you probably would have won.)
People tend to sell their own work short. Don't do that.

Awwh, that's actually very uplifting. That is quite fair; I've voted for scenarios I found more unique than were necessarily materially well made these last few contests. It's just disheartening when it's your own work.
Thanks, I'm still making the map (there are some iterations in the WIP and my personal map thread) but didn't throw my hat in the ring with it. So at least it's not completely lost. As for sugar beets, that would prove difficult, but I could incorporate it's very close cousin: the sea beet! In future I'll be less despondent about my chances, aha.

@HowAboutThisForAName - Glad to hear you are still working on the map! I thought it was a really neat idea when you ran it by me, and I was interested to see how it would turn out.
