Im always amazed that soybeans and corn dominate our agricultural exports! Its a little concerning that they make up so much of farmers income – what if something happens to those crops? Still, its impressive that just two products account for over 25% of the export value. It makes you appreciate the sheer scale of US agriculture.

You know what’s crazy? The two biggest agricultural exports from the US are soybeans and corn. Seriously! I was blown away when I first learned that. It’s kind of mind-boggling, right? It makes you wonder…what if some disease wipes out the corn crop one year? So many farmers depend on these two crops – it makes me a little nervous for them, you know? I mean, think about it: over a quarter – 25%! – of the total value of agricultural exports comes from just these two things. I remember seeing a documentary once about a soybean farm in Illinois…massive. Just massive fields stretching as far as you could see. That really brought it home for me, the scale of it all. US agriculture is just…wow.
