feed prices going up

I was in to the farm supply a couple days ago to buy chick starter, since one of our hens decided to hatch out chicks in the middle of winter. Anyway, the guy was telling us that feed prices are going way up soon... higher than he's ever seen them. Not trying to depress anyone here, just though I'd give you heads up!

I saw that on Canada AM this morning. The cost of wheat is sky rocketing due to the lack of it since farmers are changing to growing corn instead. The whole food industry will feel its affect .

Great, just what we need

I'm glad you mentioned it now... I think I may stock up the next time I head down to the coop. Thanks!

Yeah, I heard the price of bread will be going up due to lack of grain. I can only imagine how this will impact those of us with livestock.

Yup, I heard that too just the other day. Ethanol + Corn = Bigger moneys to farmers. Boy, I'm happy Sugar only gets 1/4 cup of grain per day
