Unfortunately that is sort of the point of a deflationary crash.......which quickly leads to the next question.
What, if anything, can central banks do about it.

Nothing. They have to accept the end of growth. Post ww2 has been the longest run of growth. Deflation is natural from time to time.
??? Grain buyer jack!

Listen here sunflower I'm a poor farmer who wants £200t for his wheat.

All that European banks can do is print, they have no cushion against tough times being already in recession and many under capitalized hence negative interest rates. This week is going to be very interesting with sharp downturns on many fronts'..........perhaps not a bad time to be holding cash, for sure anyone and his dog will be able to accumulate bargains at a time such as this.

A poor farmer can’t store grain for that long, you must be rolling in it
The only thing I'm rolling in is mud.

Just been quoted £153 March movement for low spec Lili Gp2, Oxfordshire
Time to blow the dust off the old picture used by the late Dave 'Nogger' Norris in his grain marketing blog...
...which he always used to signify that the grain market was "falling out of bed".
Down another £2.60 today.
This of course begs the question: do we bail out now, or ride this market into the ground?

I would concur.
Wheat was resilient yesterday compared with the general carnage; opened down about £4 and clawed half or more of that back.
With stock markets now down typically over 20% from their peaks, there could well be a month or two of consolidation / recovery before whatever happens next.
A massive QE stimulus is (almost) a given.
