Please replace "farmprice" by "farmPrice"

The error message is correct. If you do not name the arguments, the
first argument must be the formula or the list of formulas. You could
estimate the system either by
R> fitsur <- systemfit( list( demand=eqDemand, supply=eqSupply ), "SUR" )
or by
R> fitsur <- systemfit( method="SUR", formula=list( demand=eqDemand,
supply=eqSupply ) )
Please read the documentation/manual of systemfit and the paper about
systemfit published in the JSS:
