# FarmMode Decisions

## Introduction

There are a few specific scenarios where we believe the risk of farming is too high and we will aim to stop any farming processes. These are:

* **Farm value drops**: when the value of the assets in the farm has dropped
* **Price discrepancies**: when there is an inconsistency between prices reported by selected oracles
* **Extreme market conditions**: in some cases there may be extreme market conditions

We have a smart contract (`farmModeDecisionMaker`) that is specifically looking at cases in which this has happened. This contract monitors both unexpected pricing behaviour as well as drops in farm balance value.
