Cattle and corn aren't resources like oil or metal. They have to be produced in order for there to be a surplus. If we have a massive supply of cattle and corn, that's because somebody grew a massive supply of cattle and corn. Farmers don't have to grow cattle and corn; they can choose to grow other things.
