Over 74% of the hope in the US are grown in Orege, Washington and Idaho.
I truly don't see the KFS having to import much in the way of foodstuffs, rather i would expect them to import raw materials to feed their factories. This would allow them to trade finished product to their neighbors. Things like trade rifles and their ammunition, cookware, cloth, tools, even batteries and radios (carefully preset to KFS frequencies and, perhaps, equipped to monitor and record conversations and transmit them at selected times). It may even be in the best interest of the KFS to sell steamboats to carefully vetted groups.
