Hank, you curley headed fuk -- you criticize others for having an answer but you always seem to have the right answer.

On a side note, I don't think this will hit home as hard as the global scale. Domestic food crops are a pretty big deal in the U.S., possibly greater than anywhere else other than small northern European countries. Also, our country has no shortage of cropland, nor does Canada. There's a reason Egypt imports so much food.

If $hit does hit the fan, invest in a small parcel of land and grow potatoes. You can live off of vodka and mashed taters for a long time.
