Most U.S. Dairy Cows Are Descended From Just Two Bulls

There will be no famine as a result of a single type of crop in a local area getting killed. It still takes at least weeks for the virus to spread around to other crops which is plenty of time to become aware of it and stop its spread. There is also nothing preventing imports of healthy foods over the border.

There is also no real incentive to bring bad crops over the border to a safe area.

That's an extremely naive attitude. No famine looks that serious until it is already too late.

Assuming it's spread naturally of course. If it was a deliberate attack it wouldn't be quite so straightforward.
