   I would guess that if someone, see for instance   
   https://nunatsiaq.com/stories/article/wind-and-solar-powered-gre   
   nhouse-takes-off-in-gjoa-haven/   
   adapted greenhouses built for the arctic to the needs of a colony on   
   Mars today, they could get very good shipping agreements from SpaceX to   
   deliver them to Mars. They could probably get their greenhouses to Mars   
   for two years worth of veggies on Mars. After the two years they start   
   selling veggies on Mars at a profit. If you wait until SpaceX is ready   
   to go to Mars, you won't be getting as good a deal.   
      
   I think companies who act now might make big profits. Those who wait   
   will have a harder time. Elon wants humans on Mars soon. If you want to   
   help him, I think you can have a good deal.
