“BS Alfalfa don’t grow where corn grows, and corn don’t grow where alfalfa grows.”
I’m done with this thread. Its obvious that you don’t know your a$$ from a grape on this subject!
More than you’ll ever know, city boy.
It has fallen below what it was BEFORE the claimed ethanol induced spike (as if gasoline and fertilizer prices had NOTHING to do with it)
Fact: beef farmers don't feed grains to their cattle. That is done at the stockyard (where the farmers sell their cattle to) when cattle are "finished" before slaughter. The stuff the stockyards used is a blend of all kinds of crap, (hopefully not rendering plant animal by products anymore) from turkey/chicken barn sweepings to grain cracklings left over from other processing. There are about 5 hog super barn producer around where I live. I know how they conduct their business, what they grow for feed, as well as a few dairy farmers, one next door to me. They grow their own feed, and around here, corn isn't one of those grains. Alfalfa grows in these parts, the cooler north west is what alpfalfa likes to grow in. It will not grow in hot dry regions, like the corn belt. Similarly, The season is too short here for corn to grow.
