That's like saying "plants are a crop", and is just as inaccurate. Nobody on
Earth is planting black walnut or black cherry trees. I doubt there will ever
come a time when people in the U.S. are willing to plant a crop that can't be
harvested for 150 years or so. Even with the slash pine, which is grown as a
crop in the south, the stuff being harvested today is junk compared to what I
used to be able to buy as 2x4s 30 years ago. Cuban mahogany (the stuff that
Chippendale worked) is extinct as a lumber tree.

Some people think they hear a call to the priesthood when what they really
hear is a tiny voice whispering "It's indoor work with no heavy lifting".
