Is anyone else dreading the upcoming year in corn costs. I use about 10,000lbs a year. Its going to hurt. We saw some prices as high as $7/per 50lb bag.

Not sure where your at but I have cotton gin bales(motes) for $50 for a 600lb bale. They run about 17% on protein which is alot better than corn.

I am considering a feeder with a trough and time drop to help eliminate waisted corn. Have also thought about getting away from corn all to gether maybe look into feeding black-eyed peas or something along that line, they are higher in protein anyway.

I wish i could find corn for $7.00 a bag. 2 years ago th echeapest i found was 7.95. last year it was 8.85 a bag.

Jeez...at the local Co-op here, it's $4.90. Actually...I've had deer walk clear across a corn field to chow down on 4th cutting alfalfa bales. It's got to be good quality stuff, and I'm not sure where you'd get it in Texas. They ignored the average stuff and zeroed in on the last cutting.

Well at the start of this past season I was seeing $4 a bad. It may have gone back down now. I havent bought any since the end of December.

thank bush and his alternative fuels for your corn prices!
hurtin me too, butt like a buddy said just what would ya pay for a trophy!
if ya can get it royce seed company outa waxahachie has the cleaniest corn i've ever seen, i pour and check all my corn in 5 gallon buckets before going into feeders, account of a feeder gettin clogged one year, this stuff from royce is so clean i checked 8 ton this last year and found 1 stalk about 3 1/2 inches long and no dust, its the best and cleanest corn i've ever seen $208.00 a ton!
good luck!
p.s. can buy bulk near my ranch at the elevator for $4.85 a hundred, butt this stuff is full of trash and nasty with dust, great for pouring on ground, butt the deer will feed when they want to and not when you want them too!
