A.) you are expecting farmers to be quants , B.) There are 10000 more inputs to farming than what you described. Labor being a major one. Financier: "Well Jim, I know you were focu…

that was my initial thought as well, but you are limited by the availability of financial instruments as you move up the chain to inputs. Outputs are easy to craft instruments arou…
