false

Explanation:

In contract law, the term used is not vagueness, the proper term is indefiniteness. Indefiniteness doctrine while determine that a contract is invalid if its terms are to vague, ambiguous or uncertain, and they result in problems for the performance of the contract.

In this case, this contract is classified as a requirements contract and it is pretty specific since it states a defined price ($0.16 per pound), and since crop production is not regular (changes year after year), it is OK to state that all the production will be purchased.
