Just hold a stainer under your boo boo the next day wash it off and eat it again
Deer meat just got more expensive.
Prices are not going up, the dollar is going down.
I hope the poor Mexicans have lots of ADM stock.
Cows now have to compete with cars for corn and farmers don’t get government subsidies for corn the way fuel producers do.
Easy solution. Eliminate the requirement that ethanol be used in fuels and eliminate the $0.50 per gallon federal subsidy on ethanol.
$10.00 Holy crap! I should go and buy my Dads farm back!
“Over the past week, trading firms including JPMorgan Chase & Co. and MF Global Holdings Ltd. bought call option contracts that would pay off if corn rose above $10 or $11 a bushel next spring. The options are traded at Chicago-based CME Group, along with futures based on grain, cattle, hogs and other commodities.”
Jim Roger back in 1989 said that corn would be about $7.00 a bushel in a few years.
Why does the gubmit push subsidies for a fuel from corn, for us to burn our food in our cars, and fight us like hell when we try to drill and produce oil and gas in the US?
On another note corn gets any higher and it will make financial sense to grow it in your back yard. Last several years it’s been a loss to grow corn at home.
I was going to get some 4/$1 corn on the cob today but the ears were to tiny that I passed it up.
An update on the empty shelves at the store and them not having some of the advertised specials - shelves were still empty and specials were still not available unless you had connections. I felt like it was the black market or a “Dave, open up, I’ve got the stuff” deal because I had to talk to a specific manager and he had to go to the back and bring it out. He only brought out as many of the item as we requested but not any extra to stock the shelves. At the checkout, the cashier and sacker both made comments. But my freezer and my friend’s freezers are now both full. I hooked her up with my connection and I scored a bag... of homegrown pecans from her, so all’s good. Just hoping this was some freakish week and not a preview of what’s ahead in these troubling days.
Ag Ping...
I know some farmers that got 25 bushels to the acre this year on some of their fields.
