@mhoye it’s a hedge. And it’s brilliant. It’s very much rational from a financial point of view. And it furthermore points to how production is planned.

A farmer will not buy more cows to produce milk than that which he can sell. If a temporary demand surpasses the capacity of his cows, he’ll get more cows if he can justify the demand over a period of time.

So Sam will hedge on his chips, which could otherwise be bought by someone else. And production will over time weather this.
