A news release last night: the construction industry here is facing a steel shortage. Some projects are delayed due to unavailability of structural steel products. Since we have a short construction season, those projects may be delayed a year. Who knows what will happen next year.

Just bought several $K worth of steel panels and feeders for use in a livestock facility. The company I bought it from stated that prices are most certainly going up in the summer, as steel has/is going up quite a bit. Add to that fuel costs for transporting, and you have some prices increases on the way.
