Comment on Paul Graham predicts food shortagesparent

I think the biggest issue there would be financing. Most fertilizer terms are COD but you don't realize any cash in farming until you deliver the crop (and for some crops, payment terms aren't great).

I think there could be a situation where individual farmers just can't finance enough fertilizer. The whole business runs on cash flow and it's tough in normal times.
