There will be surplusses for American consumption...but we will still have to pay significantly higher prices. Thats because agricultural commodities (wheat, corn soybeans, etc) are global commodities and are impacted by droughts elsewhere and by monetary policy (Quantitative Easing).

Temporarily, perhaps. But historically the American farmer has ALWAYS overproduced sufficiently to drive prices down, even in the face of seeming insurmountable demand.
