Collaboration. Mutualism. Symbiosis. Seeing our mutual needs will lead to mutual understanding. Mutual understand leads to a symbiotic relationship -- which is necessary given that we are beginning to live in close quarters Socialism...taking care of those who didn't inherit the ability the take of themselves from their parents...poor people...poverty is an illness and those who are impoverished are societal orphans. Foster them rather than harvest them. And then let them foster you. So that you can be of even more use to your country and the world. Socialism...We do not work for ourselves...We work for each other until everything is right in the world...call it mutualism if you are uncomfortable with the word. People that are anti-social are called sociopaths. [/quote] Trade? Wtf are you going to trade, good will? Lol [/quote]

Farms in the grain belt are so waterlogged 6 million acres of corn may not be planted.
Add to that soybeans, and you are talking about massive grain shortages.
6 million acres of corn produce, on average, 54 billion pounds of dry kernel corn.
That's 168 pounds of corn
per every person in the US that will not exist next year.
Add to that 4 million acres of soybeans potentially not planted. That would be 34 pounds per person lost.
UPDATE, October 20th
Top 1% grain grower discusses how the USDA has been pumping out fake crop numbers - leading to the US still exporting, when we should be conserving grain.

UPDATE, July 4th
There's indications this is a global crop failure tied to the solar minimum. Crop losses may be more than the 20% - 30% as was estimated last month - some estimates are more than 50%.
"Professor Valentina Zharkova says that what we are facing is a “super grand solar minimum”, and if that is true we are going to be facing climate chaos like we have never seen before. During previous “grand solar minimums” the globe was gripped by devastating famines and vast numbers of people died. Could a similar scenario potentially be in our future?"
