    You’ve had an easy time while others have been buying US veggies. If there were no US veggies available at all you would have a much more difficult time.

      If we don’t buy US they will bring in stuff from other countries. It’s already happening. We had never seen lemons from any country but USA. Now we get South African, Argentinian and what not. Oranges? Morocco, Egypt. Cantaloupes were always USA. Now we get some from Guatemala and Honduras and right now Canada as they are in season. Apples now? Not available yet in Canada. We get them from NZ.

      It’s all possible. There is nothing the USA grows that isn’t grown around the world.

        I literally live in the warmest farming country in Canada. I still 2-3 months of the year the land is fallow and can’t grow anything because it’s too cold, and a few other months some of it is only used to grow hay for livestock, unlike the states which can grow produce year round.

          We have mass green house structures in BC for cold growing, and growing hay for livestock isn’t a " nowhere to grow food" issue its a planning issue.
