Are the US producing enough of basic food to cover it's own needs?

I think we are a long way from starving. We are closer to having to eat something that isn't your first choice.

Yes, lot of hoarders and the media is spreading a lot of fear for some reason. So if the US has large enough agricultural production to cover the need you should be OK even if this thing escalate to a big crisis. Shall be very interesting to see what happens to the holy grail of globalisation, here in Norway we have had globalists that argued that our food production was to inefficient and we should shut down all the farming, the idea was if you had money you could always be able to buy what you wanted, suppose we don't hear much about those ideas now.

This is gotta be a first to have the 5th generation of a shut down thread. We are plowing new ground here Mark.
Yeah, it's shutting down as much as the stock market!
I'm vague on exactly what was said, but I thought I heard in a news conference that the government was asking Construction Companies to come forward with their supplies of masks? Something about dust masks used in some elements of construction are the type needed for health care personnel to protect themselves from Coronavirus? Maybe someone can clarify that better?
Good tight fitting N95 masks, like dual cartridge painters mask are said to work.
There are currently no food shortages...increased demand has caused some short term supply issues at end of the line markets...
With the border shutting down who is going to pick the veggies? Process the chickens?

The terrorists have been trying to weaponize a virus for years...in some ways the media has beaten them to it...!

Maybe Chicago's Mayor should do that.
