You're joking right. The US farmer still relies on Government subsidies and agressive protectionism on imports to even survive. So how can it be the breadbasket of the world when its still subsidised by Central Government. Without both forms of Government assistance the average American farmer would be in trouble.
Although, grain exporters do sell a huge ammount overseas, how much money to them is it really worth? I'm sure they would like to be earning a lot more for the long hours and effort they put into it.
As for jobs back home, it all comes down to your qualifications and work experience as others have said it's not the time to be a newly graduated Arts Degree job seeker |

"Agriculture is a major industry in the United States and the country is a net exporter of food."
- It still doesn't mean that the US has a lot of arable land relative to its population. If it comes to it, America will be self-sufficient and able to feed itself compared to other countries in the world (e.g. India, China, Saudi Arabia) |

Umm.... I'm not sure exactley what you mean by the bits i've bolded. But believe me, America wouldn't be the place I'd like to be living if there is any sort or major world crisis or calamity. Because America is the obvious target unless its a natural calamity
As for me i'd be happy back in NZ where farmers haven't lived of government sudsidies for over 30 years and are trully self supporting and indeed making more money now than they have in the last decade. NZ would actually have a glut of food and produce.
The countries that would have the main problems are the ones with the highest densities of populations. South Korea, Taiwan and the island of Hong Kong wouldn't be good places to be living in |
