While the price of wheat was increased a while ago to counter the skewed dynamic pricing, it is still quite broken and continually getting worse.
Currently, after tax, wheat sells for less than 3 cents more than melkin. Which is a bit crazy given a wheat farm costs $184 million more than a melkin farm to build.
Some new players are realising that building a wheat farm was not a good option and they are swapping over to melkin or risk, never making their money back on their investment.

 

I’m currently advising new players to not build wheat farms unless they plan on being AFK 24/7 for over a year because that’s what it will take to break even. It would take them many months just to afford a wheat farm so for new players, it’s closer to a 2 year investment that currently pays little more than a melkin farm.
Dynamic pricing is killing diversity.
Most new players that build wheat farms, do so not understanding the effort and time it will take to pay it off until it’s too late and they regret their decision.

 

I agree, dynamic pricing never really worked well, and it's somewhat annoying spending a ton of balance building a certain farm to then see that farm drop on value.
