Controlling market prices

[lukeda]

Has anyone tried to control the market prices by artificially creating a shortage by purchasing all fields and not selling crop yields until the prices are sky high?

I am wondering if it is worth buying all the small fields.

Bummer. According to the video, selling doesn't affect prices much. I was hoping that it would.

Although he mentioned that he wanted to be proven wrong. He only went a few days after selling to see if market prices would decline.

It's not like he went 10 or 20 days not selling any of a particular crop. He also only sold one train load not like he sold a million liters of the same grain.

It could take me a while before I can test it. I only purchased 1 field (field 26) and been playing for about 60 hours now.

There is 6 million dollars in fields and I can only harvest about 100,000 liters of wheat in an hour 2 hours for soybeans with a 35 foot header. That doesn't give me much profit.

I bought loads of fields in my last save game and found if I didn't plant certain crops that price would go up better. As long as the remaining npc fields didn't plant it. It's been months since I played properly though.
