11. As much as the media has touted everywhere else in the world as a supposed "breadbasket"

The U.S. (including all of its territory, both CONUS and OCONUS) can grow and raise almost anything in the world - and that includes tropical plants. For example neither Ukraine nor Russia can grow oranges or lemons or limes as a sustainable crop, and the same pretty much applies to a degree to sugarcane. But the U.S. can and does.

The U.S. consistently ranks in the top 10 for wheat for export.



(and I do "bake" and know about the different types of wheat thanks to King Arthur Flour, recently renamed "King Arthur Baking Company" )

And we are top for corn -



It's not like there is no one to step up but I think aside from (corporate) farms here converting to biofuels, the pandemic ended up having many of them with completely full silos of product that they could not process and thus that surplus not only meant no profit, but in many losses. So the reticence is there.

And with meats -

Beef -



Poultry



Pork



And in the top 10 for seafood -



I won't even go into the orchards...

But just like fuel oil is a "commodity" that gets traded and has "futures", so too are "beef" and "pork bellies", and "corn" and "wheat", etc. And the potential for a whole lot more $$$$$$$$ for the corporations is just staring them in the face.
