Don't know about this.

Even under adverse conditions (cold wet spring forcing very late planting, cool summer, late maturing, flooding during harvest time) the corn crop was predicted to be the second largest ever and the soy bean crop - the largest ever. Haven't heard how that panned out, but I think its close. Haven't tracked the wheat, but its price is quite low now indicating a more than adequate supply.

For more than 50 years the American Farmer has produced way more food than we could possibly eat.

We’ve been feeding the world, so to speak.

See my tagline, it’s been true for, what, a hundred years? It will be true in 2010 also.
