I am an old farmer in the countryside in my seventies. In the seventy years I remember, I never thought that farmers would have the idea of stationing grain. Even in the 1960s, when there was such a shortage of food, the slogan of farmers at that time was (to fight against heaven). They wanted food, but they didn't have this fear of not having food. Now that farmers are full, there is still surplus food at home, and there is no shortage of food. Will there be such an idea of hoarding food?
But it is not unreasonable for farmers to think that there will be a shortage of food in the future, because farmers who plant land know best whether there will be a shortage of food in the future. Because farmers themselves have seen that the fertile land cultivated on a large scale to produce food has been destroyed and abandoned, and there is no land to produce food. Where does the food come from?
Although other people's food is cheaper than the food grown by farmers in their own country, it is still other people's food in the final analysis, not the food of their own grain store. Once someone closes the granary, no one will sell you the last grain, and then they will cry and beg others, and others will not sell you a grain. This is absolutely correct. Therefore, farmers who farm their own land to produce food are fully aware of what will happen one day and lack food. If you have food at home, you don't panic, the country is too safe and the people are safe.
