      They probably do have a “superior product” it’s just that the superiority comes from yield per acre. Not taste. Agricultural products are a massive industry in the US and bioengineering crops for higher drought tolerance and increased yield is the priority right now. The drawback to more soybean or corn or wheat per m² is nutritional density in the actual harvested product.

      What I will say is that I’ve noticed a trend toward more sustainable farming practices even in the midwest where yield is your family’s livelihood. More farmers are beginning to turn to no-till planting practices, pasture rotation, ground cover planting, etc. It’s slow, but they’re getting coerced by messaging from governmental bodies and research bodies in Illinois like the Department of Natural Resources, Dept. of Agriculture, University of Illinois, etc.

      When I see why the EU has serious issues with American agricultural products, I seriously doubt that superiority.
