What we export is not necessarily what we can’t eat—we raise 77 million acres of soybeans and export 35%. The 35% could come close to feeding the entire population of the US for a year. WE can also eat catfish, and most of what is in animal feed too. I use the USDA Stats. And finally, we can grow a lot more food if need be. Parts of Iowa and Illinois have the best test soil in the world. We are scheduled to grow about 90 million acres of corn this year.

IMO, they my be truthful, but they are also full of spin. I found the TAMU stats sufficiently detailed and trended to get an honest idea of what portends.
