  1. I didn't realise that agriculture was so large in Germany. to think 80% of their land is used for agriculture is unreal. I also like how you noted the major cities and their populations in Germany.

  3. I found it really interesting that Germany has such an abundance of Agriculture production. I would have never thought that they produced so much. The only thing I ever associate with Germany was WWII, which I can see being a huge part of their tourism business. I also really like the graphics you added to this tab, it kept it interesting. Nice job!
