Glad to see the farmer maing a buck. They get about 10 cents out of a $4.00 dollar box of corn flakes.The rest goes to the packager.

last time prices were as good was 1995, when the average was $3.25 a bushel.

And remember that if the nominal price is the same as in 1995, then corn is about 30% cheaper in real dollars!
