Farm Price Volatility & Price-Floor Simulator

Run a multi-year farm sector: random weather-driven harvest shocks hit an inelastic-demand market, causing prices to swing far more than the shock itself. Toggle a government price-floor program and watch farmer income stabilize against a running government surplus-purchase cost.

Economics & Social Systems3DModerate60 FPS

A multi-year model of an agricultural commodity market where the harvest each year is buffeted by an independent, weather-driven supply shock while demand stays stubbornly price-inelastic — people need to eat roughly the same amount regardless of price. That combination forces market prices to swing far more than the underlying shock, leaving farmer income unpredictable. Toggle the government price-floor program to see it stabilize farmer income by buying up surplus production whenever the market price would otherwise crash, at a running fiscal cost tracked live.

⚙ Under the hood

Run a multi-year farm sector where random weather-driven harvest shocks meet price-inelastic food demand, causing market prices to swing far more than the shock itself. Toggle a government price-floor program and watch farmer income stabilize while a live readout tracks the government's cumulative surplus-purchase cost.
