More farmable land than all other countries combined?
Who told you this? Look at a world map for 5 seconds dumbass.

India is our closest competitor at about 156 million hectares but they use over 50% of their potentially arable land to reach that number and their farming is primarily subsistence farming.

Also the land in the US requires very few inputs to be productive. We can use inputs to make it more productive, but ground, water and sun and it will grow. And we can grow just about anything we want within our borders -- with the exception of luxury goods like coffee and cacao which our largest trading partner to the south can supply.
Is there another nation in the world that pays farmers to let their fields lie fallow for multiple years?
While I was being a little hyperbolic for rhetorical effect, my point stands. US teabags the rest of the world as far as food production and farmland because of our unique geography.
We are literally living in Eden. It's damn near perfect.
