    Economics 101: additional supply is counteracted by lower demand (meaning lower prices to compete for that demand)

      Economics 102: no single company controls supply. If you don’t make it, someone else will.

      Also if you want to decrease supply you can simply grow less, there’s no need to throw out perfectly good product.

        No single company contols supply.

        Pick one. You can’t have both. Either you have the ability to control supply or you don’t.

          I very obviously meant that you could control your own personal supply by growing less.

          Can’t help but notice you didn’t actually contradict my statement though.
