Dawg Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Went to grand ol Walmart and noticed that corn is $8.47 for a 40 lb bag. Good thing I don't feed at the deer lease year round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHISKEYSWAMP Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 dad picked some up on sale for $4.00 a bag on Friday... told him to buy as much as he could. I haven't had corn in my feeder for quite a while now, just getting too expensive to fill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Corn prices went up 100% in 6 months. They passed a law to allow 15% ethanol in gasoline which of course is made with corn. Speculators saw it coming and just like the oil speculation it drove up the cost. Everything used with corn including feeding cows pigs and chickens is rising right along with it. Who can you thank for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Google Ethanol refineries and take note where most of them are. The answer is in there somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHISKEYSWAMP Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I picked up the last 5 bags they had tonight to go along with the 4 dad already bought for me... He already bought 8 bags for himself. Wish I could have made it over there last weekend, I would have loaded my truck down at that price.
