Of course if it's a good year but predicted bad then farmers can make a profit and the sellers hold their high prices, based on expected, anyway and make more profit.

Back in the early days of Apple one of the founders sold his shares in Apple for $800.
Today those shares are worth over $20,000,000,000.
