Total grain imports into the US are less than 2% of our consumption. My original post was meant to refer to bulk raw commodities such as corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton. There are certainly food products from other places that we don't produce here that we import and we need products such as from Mexico in our winter. Our exports are in the millions of tons for the commodities listed to Japan, Mexico, Egypt,China,European Union, Canada,(not wheat to Canada),Venezuela, Syria, Taiwan, and South Korea. Our exports to above countries went up over 10% in each of the last two years, so there is strong increasing demand for our raw products. Some of these raw products are processed overseas then the US imports the processed product back into the US (cookies,noodles for example).In production ag if a producer pumps 2-350 dollars acre into commodity production it is not greed to want to see a return on that investment plus a reasonable profit on investment.Certainly we operate in a world economy in terms of providing overall food needs to our population and foreign countries. Many,many countries in the world in addition to those mentioned depend on our farmers each year for bulk raw commodity production.
