supply and demand...same in any industry. People want what they can't have. The trick to this game is getting product to places that don't have it. The closer you are to the source, the lower the value of the product. A lot of this industry is transportation, those with the ability to move product often have a better business than those that grow...this is true in all farming, distribution is generally more lucrative than production.
As for WHY anyone would sell so low, when one has been without income all season, and one needs to cover expenses, one is forced to do things one might otherwise not want to do.
High quality product is moving, even now, and prices will go up as things get harder to find.
Keep in mind, too, that it's hard to know which fad will be most popular 10 months later, and which strains will be successful in any given climate, so not every plant grown will be what everyone wants come market day.
