Feed costs really haven’t increased yet.

They haven't?

No such luck, here.

For example, a 50 lb. bag of store brand "Scratch Grains" that was $8.99 "regular price" a year ago is now $13.99, and comes with a lot more crap in it.

Outside of sales, that's the pattern for any feeds I'd consider for our chickens. Not sure about cat food (the only other animal we have.) It'd have to be pretty bad for us to consider harvesting a cat.

Our feed went from $16 to $17 per 50lb bag.

We use only organic feed from a local mill. That may have something to do with it.

I’m expecting it to go up a lot more anytime now.
