I suspect the large scale egg producers don’t get their feed from Tractor Supply. Hobby farmers use Tractor Supply.
TS has 50lb bags of shelled deer corn for $13.50. I can get 100 lbs bags for 13 from the local farmer.
Could there be something impacting the food supply, sure, but it isn’t TS’s fault. They are a national/local distributor who makes money providing convenience to a rural population.
Gives Deep State a motivation for doing something that sticks it to TS...
Depending upon moisture, corn is about 56 lbs per bushel.
The current price of corn as of January 27, 2023 is $6.8350 per bushel. (That’s $12.20 per hundred weight.)
This varies based upon location.
In the summer of 2020 it was about $3.25 per bushel. Thanks Biden!
There are chicken production sites with 5 million birds. They’re not buying feed from Tractor Supply.
Some Tractor Supply contamination would have zero effect on the commercial markets.
