      Ideally if no one is producing a product at all, the price would be zero. Right?

        Technically in such a case there would still be examples of feral production wherein plants are still reporducing away from people and folks just gather it. Though I don’t know what the price would be for such an example.

        Also I use the term feral since a lot of crops are domesticated even if they are growing in the wild, domestication usually has irrevocable mutations attached.

      Might actually happen if exports drop down to zero and the farmers have to sell everything domestically.

      At least for one season until all the farmers go bankrupt.
