I took a hopper to the mill today and got a load of dry corn for the cows. I paid 103.08 a metric tonne. I met a neighbour who grows corn and we were talking and he asked what I had paid. Roughly $2.70 cleaned and dried from the mill per bushel. Cost of production is more than that. Its cheap feed for me but I know someone is hurting when corn prices are that low. My neighbour just shook his head, he has all his corn stored at home but the price has actually dropped a few cents in the last couple of days. It doesn't matter which side of the border you live on , farm prices are not fair to farmers. In some countries people spend 70-80% of their income on food while in North America people spend less than 10% on food. What will happen with corn prices over the next months??
