There will be more wheat produced than demand requires. This is a simple scenario of the Law of Supply and Demand, they are both dependent with each other. When prices are too high, consumers' demands become low because they are thinking on the practical side. Thereby, increasing the supply because it has not been purchased by the consumers.
