land rationalization as per plants Currants love South Dakota soil

So I guess that since South Dakota has few pine trees or the 5 needles to the blister rust that a currant industry would not jeopardize pine trees. But they do need more water than the inclement rainfall. Now what I am thinking of here is a overall mapping biologically and agriculturally of the entire world as to optimum growing of plants and trees. Case in point is eastern white pine and currants. Both are commercial plants but both are affected by blister rust. So what I am saying is that in the future we mapp the entire world for agriculture and we realize that SouthDakota has few if any white pine or 5 needle pines. But the soil in eastern SouthDakota is perfect for currants provided they get ample water in summer. So my view is that if all currants were grown in the USA and only in South Dakota then that would reduce the pressure of the disease of blister rust. In a sense I am calling for a rationalization of all the land in the world as to the growing of plants. Another industry is that of cedar trees and apple trees with rust. So that we find where in the USA apples love the soil and conditions and we say no cedar trees there. Not only a Rationalization in terms of diseases and soil ph but a rationalization in terms of petroleum inputs of operating heavy equipment of tractors etc and fertilizer and herbicides etc etc so that some places where agriculture costs much more in petrol inputs than in other places. For example, if it costs 10 gallons of petrol to grow corn in one place and only 1 gallon of petrol to grow the same amount of corn in another place, then those facts need be disseminated and broadcast.
