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.
It’s all part and parcel of capitalism. It’s how it works.

It is also necessary. For example, although selling short seems heartless, who else will actually buy a failing company? Ban the practice and everything is lost.
