Read the excerpt from the time traveler’s guide to elizabethan england. so much grain is produced in 1592 that francis bacon proudly declares that england can now afford to feed other nations as well as her own people. it is an unfortunate remark, for it is very soon followed by a great dearth. the harvest of 1594 is poor, that of 1595 is worse, and the following year worse still: wheat hits 170 percent of its normal price, oats reach a level of 191 percent, and rye has to be imported from denmark. other bad years—when the price of grain is 20 percent or more above the rolling average—are 1573, 1586, and 1600. the year 1590 is almost as bad, made worse by the high cost of livestock. prices for animal products hit new heights and never really diminish. which detail from the text best supports the inference that many elizabethans could not afford to buy grain during some years?
