Not really surprised about the stuff on the pallet. Nor am I surprised at how difficult it is to find some things that are actually made in the US. Most companies big or small are in direct competition with each other. If company A starts importing a product or move production off shore to offer a lower price tot he consumer companies B,C and D have to follow suit or close their doors. Now often in the last 40-50 years companies have moved production off shore because of either new regulations from OSHA or EPA that makes continued production in the US too expensive.
As far as the farming side goes? As long as a sitting president is willing to use food as a weapon foreign countries have to better develop their own agriculture in the interest of their own national security. And when farm labor in one country is just a small fraction of another country's labor which country's farmers are going to be more profitable? So that means the American farmer has either got to do it better/smarter or look at alternative crops to stay profitable. No one is going to bail them out. The government isn't going buy up surplus like they did many years ago. There is no safety net. Like any other business they have to compete or fail. If they are unwilling to change eventually that individual farmer is going to have some real lean years.
