Nonsense, Mike, the US will simply

And as "dsi1" has wisely said, "In the

Wetbacks or not, we do not have the climate
for citrus, most nuts, avocadoes, &c.

 

Corn, leaf crops & berries, sure, with
half or less the growing season.

 
You might be thinking Canada?  I get 3 lettuce crops a year easily
and with effort, 4 is easy.

Your 'projection' is based more on wishful
thinking than fact-based analysis.

 
In the links on tech items which you limited to just 1 with few
listings, they show the tech is here. It was one of several items.
 
Talk with Songbird on his garden. You seem to be calling doom when
there isn't any.  Food will be fine.  You may have to get frozen or
canned of somethings not in season in areas north of the equator in
winter but that's really it or pay more for imports.   All our areas
are somewhat limited cropwise so you have to grow what suits the
area.
 
We just cleared a bushel of pecans that the neighbor's tree gifts me
with every year.  At least it's not the walnuts up the street! They
turn into missles when hit with a lawnmower. These are not isolated
events, just the products very with climate.  Like, I'm not optimal
for red apple types though Gala and Pink Lady do well.

 
You really have no idea the tonnage of food required to feed
335 million people.

And you have no clue how much we produce and how much more we have that
never enters the sales market (I even gave 2 nut samples).

The USA is referred to  as the 'bread basket' because we are overall,
suitable for growing large amounts of crops.
