Most of those less arid areas can't hold a candle to the yield/efficiency/profitability of food production in the desert (as along as water is available). Farming in the desert You have essentially unlimited sunshine, and you control the "rain". Sure, stuff grows naturally and beautifully in Wisconsin, New York, and Tennessee. You can just grow a whole lot more of it, a lot faster, and do it year round in Arizona.
