I think you either missed my point or i missed in making my point. Exporting grain to a grain producing nation probably isn't the best idea of long term economic stability.

You can try to make people support local vegetables/fruit/etc. but most people will buy what's cheapest.
in the states local usually is cheaper. however the farmer's market is often only open saturday morning.. so it is a bit less convenient.
