Indeed, the United States has been a net exporter of agricultural products since 1959, an uninterrupted span of 44 years. Today, the improbable has become probable. Since 1996, the agricultural trade surplus has shrunk from $27.3 billion (an all-time high) to $10.5 billion. Although U.S. agricultural exports continue to rise, imports are increasing nearly twice as fast." (AMBER WAVES) This article discusses the increase in the amount of imported agricultural products the United States ships in from other countries despite their ranking as the leading exporter of farm products.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
