There is an over abundance of corn so I wouldn't get to worried about it having much effect on food prices. California should have water for crops this year too is they don't let it all run into the ocean.

China isn't buying pork, corn or soybeans right now because of the trade war so farmers are hurting but if grain prices would double it would help out the farmers and every other ag related business and that all trickles down to other businesses in small farming communities.

You may be right about that. The latest article I could find on US corn reserves is from September 2018:

If we don’t rest our fields every 7 years and rotate our crops God will help us to do so.
