The United States furnished complete yearly rations for 57,100,033 people from July 1 1914 to January 1 2018 along with extra protein for 22,104,570 men. Wheat and flour exports to the three major allies equaled about 254 million bushels, pork 2 billion pounds, and fresh beef 448 million pounds, with Russia receiving negligible amounts.
