Lex: Save any lives on your way over? You keep it up, and you can make a career out of it.
Clark: I was just dropping off your produce. Sorry my parents gave you a hard time.
Lex: Aw, if push came to shove, I would have arm-wrestled them for it.
OK, what do the underlined parts mean? Just note that Clark is a farmer. And if by "produce" he means crop which crop is it - his or Lex's?
