I don't know all the answers but the best place to ask such a question would the magazine "Scientific American".  Every month, they run a column titled something like "Science 50, 100 and 150 years ago".  A great magazine!!!

I believe that you will find this link somewhat useful as it does have dates that if you take the time might help you to track down the information that you are looking for because it seems that none want to put that information out where it can be found.  I even called the research department of the library on this - and they couldn't find the information.  Link is here:\n\nhttp://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/news/opinion/14298154.htm\n\nYou will find the link in the "source" portion pretty informative.  Something that I ran into when I was trying to find it on my own on the net.

For a start, try a Yahoo search for:\n\nhistory of space exploration\n\nWikipedia is usually a good place to start for information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_exploration\n\nTom Wolfe's book "The Right Stuff"\nhttp://www.tomwolfe.com/RightStuff.html\n\nIf you want information on the origins of the universe (the history of space), try: "A Briefer History of Time" by Stephen Hawking.

Sorry I couldn't find exactly 1989, however, the 2002 report (which I assume will be very similar to 1989 if you're just asking what types of fruits and vegetables were grown)... is found here:\n(The 1992 link seems to be broken).\n2002:\nhttp://www.nass.usda.gov/census/census02/profiles/ca/cp99006.PDF\n\nIn general, if you want statistics, government websites are usually good places to go to first, unless you know a specific organization which deals with the subject (in which case they may have compiled the government statistics for you already).
