Raising and processing food {agriculture} {farming, business} is a high-risk business. Weather and seasons cause farm prices to be unstable over short terms. Farmers typically need loans to plant and till, which they pay back after harvest. This situation increases risk. Small farms typically have low productivity and low income. Farmers typically expand production to take advantage of good years, resulting in too much food and thus lower prices.
