Just off the top of my head, I think we have about 52 days left to summer? 107866 population. So, if we ignore population growth (which I had factored in) and rot (which I had not), we get a formula of (107,866 / 500) * 52 = food required = 11,218.

I think it was you that massively underestimated the amount of food needed. I'm sure you bought a tonload of food, but I'm just skeptical that you could get your hands on this much.
Well thats a very misleading number. I believe that we need that much, but you make it sound like we need to buy that much. Unfortunately, I can't use the food report to check the numbers for awhile, as far as checking total production values with the seasonal changes to check how much of a deficit we will have, as I am sailing up to Iashalur.
