"As American farmers prepare to plant their next crops, they must decide how much, and what, to plant."

And, as is usually the case, the American farmer will plant and harvest sufficient so that there will be large surpluses. That's what they do.

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).
