Emptying the Breadbasket
In The Washington Post, Dan Morgan writes: "Wheat's fall from favor, little noticed when it was cheap, has been long coming. Though still an iconic symbol of American abundance - engraved on currency and praised in song - the nation's amber waves of wheat have been increasingly shoved aside by other crops. The 'breadbasket of the world,' which had alleviated hunger and famine since World War I, now generally supplies only a quarter of world wheat exports."
