My guess is that fields in Europe were harvested just before the ships left. Therefore it's entirely possible the first six months food stocks for the evacuated soldiers was brought with them. This many also help explain why the enclaves did not begin to move as a whole until spring/early summer 2001.

I just can't see anyone giving up the crops they'd toiled over without making any effort to take the produce with them. Leaving it there would be a waste as with roughly 50k people gone, there's the possibility of an oversupply in Germany. This could cause further upheavals as civilians rush from the homes and shanties they'd occupied for the past several years in a desperate effort to secure their own little peice of paradise.
