Is it better to build, or buy what you need.

Specialize on making one thing, invest tech in it and pick a government that boosts it, and then buy all the other stuff you need.

Sell your excess on the public market.

How much are people paying for food?

BY SELLING OTHER THINGS.

HOW DO YOU PAY FOR FOOD OUTSIDE THIS GAME? YOU SELL SOMETHING (MOST LIKELY YOUR TIME) IN ORDER TO GAIN MONEY WHICH YOU CAN SPEND ON FOOD. YOU DO THIS BECAUSE YOU ARE BETTER AT YOUR JOB THAN YOU ARE AT GROWING EGGPLANTS. UNLESS YOU ARE A FARMER.

SAME CONCEPT APPLIES TO THIS GAME. MAKE YOUR COUNTRY GOOD AT SOMETHING (USING THE STEPS BLID OUTLINED ABOVE), AND USE THE PROFITS FROM THAT SOMETHING TO BUY OTHER THINGS

HA!

if you mean upper limit then its 100-200 bucks before its cheaper to make own bushels than buy from public but very very rarely bushels even rise that high normally aka outside buyouts. on normal conditions 45+ bucks means that non-farmers buy less bushels and stock money until 2b bucks has been reached.
