It has more to do with the supply chain. Farmers sell to organizations who target certain areas. they sell to grocers who sell in stores. They also sell to restaurants, schools, etc. The restaurants and schools closed, so did those supply chains. Those who normally ate at school and restaurants now wanted to eat at home. Grocers had to pick up the supply chain. They didn't want to invest because this uptick was only temporary. So we had demand shock. If they raised prices, they'd be harassed for price gouging. So, then people started hording because there was no incentive to not horde, so the supply chain got more stressed.
