Food for thought...

U.S. imports of farm products are forecast to increase by 8 percent in 2011. Mexico, Canada, and the European Union are the leading contenders to supply most of that import growth. In terms of import volume (metric tons), the largest U.S. suppliers in 2010 were Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Malaysia. By region, Southeast Asian countries export more than twice as much in volume of farm products to the U.S. as the European Union. The EU, however, trails only Canada in terms of value of agricultural exports to the United States. After Mexico, South America is ahead of Southeast Asia in export value to the United States. These top 5 regions supply more than three-quarters of imported U.S. farm products.

The top four exporters of fresh vegetables to the United States are Mexico, Canada, Peru, and China. These countries make up 93 percent of the total imported supply. By itself, Mexico supplies more than two-thirds of imported fresh vegetables. More than a third of U.S. fresh vegetable imports are tomatoes, and 83 percent are shipped north from Mexico. Although the share of imported fresh vegetables is only 18 percent of domestic consumption, 44 percent of tomatoes consumed are imported. The next largest fresh vegetable imports are sweet and chili peppers, two-thirds of which are supplied by Mexico. The third largest vegetable imports are frozen potatoes, largely for French fries, from Canada. About 22 percent of French fries consumed in the United States are imported.

That is not counting milk, meat and grains that we import!

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
