Why not? Corn Illinois.. 11.78 myn x 200 (or whatever..) = 2,356 myn bushels.. put it on a barge.. float it to NOLA.. If you need any more you can always rail it in from the Dakota's... 
After all in 07/08 we exported 2,436 myn bushels.. and it's cheaper today.. average price back then was $4.20.. http://usda.mannlib.cornell.edu/usda/waob/wasde//2000s/2008/wasde-12-12-2008.pdf CORN :
