Is there a cheat to change colonial trade goods?

I am sick of my American provinces growing wheat instead of tobacco

Yep. "event [event id] [province id]". The event ID is 9500-9519, 9522, and aow_trade_goods_events.1/2. 9520 blanks the trade good (used for the abolition of slavery events) and 9521 is blank. This will let you get anything except silk, which has no event. To find the province id, use "debug_mode" to add province_id to the mouseover text.

To cover pretty much all of the good trade goods you'd expect to find in parts of the New World, Furs are 9505, Cotton is 9517, Sugar is 9518, Tobacco is 9519, Cocoa is 9522, tropical wood is aow_trade_goods_events.1, and dyes are aow_trade_goods_events.2.

You can spawn new trade goods via events in provinces. Use the command:

event eventID provinceID

If you want to spawn Gold in Brandenburg, it would be

event 9509 50

A list with eventIDs can be found here:
http://www.eu4wiki.com/Console_commands#Event_IDs

Just scroll down a bit to find the trade good events. For provinceIDs, either use the command debug_mode and hover over a province or use the Province ID Map on the EU4 wiki.

If I can give you and SchwarzerKaiser some form of forum currency like reddit gold I would. Great answers!

you can even do it in ironman via savescum or legit but costly by abandoning the colony and starting it again
