If I only have grain, can I convert it to food to pay an occupation's food cost, and then place my person?

Two designer accounts discussed the order of exchange and payment.

Yes, but the food must be paid before you commit: grain can be exchanged for 1 food at any time, and the designer says the exchange happens before the person is placed. If you can't pay, that placement isn't legal, so choose another action.
