Somehow I got the math wrong on this myself, when we were looking over your turn.
Even with doubled farms, it will take at least another 3-4 turns of full production before the stockpile is full.
Check out the Ration Order:

The stockpile maxes out at 5 turns worth but remember that the people EAT out of the stockpile, not the inventory. Therefore 5 Turns stockpile ends up with a 4 Turn surplus at the end of the turn. Max ration is 0.25 FOOD per Population Unit. 250,000,000 Population will consume 62,500,000 FOOD per Turn at 100% Ration rate.
