Agriculture in the Old South was quite diverse.
In theChesapeake Society, tobacco was one of their best commercial crops.
The Carolina Society was slave-based, and had rice and indigo, and earlier on, hemp.
Although those are some of the more prosperous crops, they also had a lot of corn, as that was part of their primary diet, among other vegetables on a smaller scale.
Planters were not the majority of southerners, but rather Yeoman farmers - those who had smaller farms, perhaps either none or only a few slaves.

The Lower South and Upper South are two regions of the Southern United States, often distinguished by their geography, culture, and economic activities. The Lower South typically includes states like Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and parts of Georgia and South Carolina, known for their agricultural economy and plantation culture. The Upper South generally encompasses states such as Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and parts of North Carolina, characterized by a more diverse economy and a mix of agriculture and industry.

Because the south was mainly cotton produced--and trains at that time wasn't built to go very far, the South had to rely on the North for food because the North was so widely diverse on manufacturing, agriculture and more. So then this leaves the answer being: the south was dependent on the north for food supplies.
