Interesting. Is there a maximum price as well to support those who buy food? Usually when you are talking about agriculture, the big risk is in a sudden supply collapse leading to price spikes, not a sudden supply explosion leading to price drops.

There are laws against hording. Currently government is the biggest seller of grain charging 3 cents per a kilo.
