Yes, this is true as I see disappearing fields in Maryland saw them yesterday. My point, however, is that our arable land and ability to produce a range of ‘lesser’ crops on poorer land is a distinct asymmetrical advantage the CCP is aware we have. But if we take it for granted, like anything else, we could regret it later. Thanks, Jim!

Maybe this should be a policy metric DC keeps track of. Seems like China is a long way from catching up with US in this.
