Food exports such as soybeans and corn for cattle feed are produced largely in the watershed created by the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. This is a key geopolitical strength that the US has that few countries come close to having. Climate change can result in more hurricane type events that damage crops there, but it isn't the same sort of problem we see in the central valley.
The central valley is a real concern, but so would the foreign supplies for most of the premium food products that are produced their in other parts of the world. Avocados aren't a sustanence crop. Still relative to other countries the US isn't in an especially bad spot.

I wonder if nuking a few mountains would get rid of that rain shadow?
