I am disgusted at the per bushel price being charged by the corn producers in the US. I feel strongly that the government should allow drilling for more corn in the Anwar and the Gulf. Think of the unconscionable profits being made by the corn refineries and the people living on the corn well fields. All they have to do is drill a well and the corn flows. Power to the people.

I must have been asleep in class that day. The only farners that I know of that set the price for their corn are selling it as roasting ears in a roadside stand. The price of corn, beans wheat, etc is set in Chicago on the board of trade. High prices are due to speculators getting into grain market to make a killing, just like oil. Chris

For anybody thinking farmers need to sell corn cheaper there is nothing stopping them from investing about a million dollars to start their own farm to produce cheap grain. People need to look at the price of corn over the past 50 years before they complain about how much it"s gone up in the past two years.

Amish and Organic farmers have a chance to make a little extra money. Home farm gets lagoon manure from hog confinement operation next to it chiseled into ground yearly- helps restore organic matter and is free low grade fertilizer. RN

This appears to be a week attempt at humor but it does point out that for the first time crop prices are taking a big jump inputs are jumping higher. This whole thing is shaking out like a possible opportunity for farmers to start making the kind of money they should have been making all along considering the investment necessary for land and equipment. It could get ugly if the global demand goes south however.

I don't understand why some farms in Pa get payed not to farm. One farmer not to far from here was renting land next door to his property, and the government offered more per acre to the land owner that this farmer could pay in rent. This case did not happen only because the farmer and land owner has been friends for many years. The old widower, that owns the land enjoys seeing his land being farmed. and likes the farmers wife's cooking on special holidays.----I would say this not the norm tho. I just don't understand how they can pay people not to farm, and in the next breath say were having a food shortage. --- 6mo. ago it cost me 49.13 to fill mt S10 now it's 62.56 so I know your cost has risen also.---Fuel, seed, machinery, and supplies to crow crops are not getting any cheaper either, ---So no I don't blame the farmers,as they are in the same boat the rest of us are. I just can't see an end to these circumstances in my lifetime. I can see a time farmers will be sitting in their fields at night with guns protecting them from people that are only hungry. and no longer afford to buy groceries, because there is no jobs left for the elderly on a fixed income. No other work like most of our factories.---Soon no work at fast food resturants,or any types of conviences, we take for granted. Two MOM and POP resturants within 10 mi of here closed this spring already. They had a very good business but couldn't keep prices down. What next???

I think Rev right was being sarcastic. With the input cost being what they are( something I am learning real hard this first year), and the fact that I heard that China is buying close to the US capacity of patash(Hearsay remember), $6 or even $7 dollar corn doesnt look to appealing. What is gonna happen to the meat prices? I think I better keep more of my chicken poop next fall. Had 5 people call this spring already wanting dibs on the next batch, 280-290tons.

Why wouldent you fertilize with your natural manure? This country is so screwed up, feed lots have no way to get rid of manure from thousands of cows, and crop farms have depleated the soil so bad there is no minerals left in it. Have you ever growen a garden of veggies that was naturally fertilized, leaves, manure, grass clippings ect? Nice juciey red tomatoes, you cant buy a tomatoe like that from a supermarket. You get a tomatoe thats white inside and as gritty as sand. I think growen right raised right, without chemicals, confinment, ect, people should pay more for there American farmer growen food. I know I do.

Crop plans and practicality in dec I sold the manure and saved a bit. Crop plans and soil test made it clear I needed more. I spread all my cow manure and chicken manure I did have and disced it in ASAP. I will use mostly all manure from here on out as long as everything stays in check

Wasn't sure why you got rid of it this year! :) Better than what you can buy, does a lot for the soil.

Hey, some of the Asian rim countries are talking about starting an OPEC type of thing with rice - now that the price is up, they want to keep it up, dole it out to buyers for only the right price..... Heard this on the radio today, for what it's worth.

Maybe they could trade OPEC a bushel of rice for a barrel of oil.
