Corn Price Jump

[TractorGuy]

I just buy it in 30-40 lb bags to feed the wildlife but it has taken a big jump.

Back a month or so it went up two dollars a bag for a 40 lb bag at Academy Sports. I switched to 30 lb bags from walmart because it was easier to access and easier on my back. Went to reorder today and it jumped from $6.97 to $9.47 for a 30 lb bag. That was from two weeks ago.

Anything to do with corn has gone up and I would assume this holds true for all grains.
Chicken feed that I was paying $8.99 a bag has gone to $16.99 now.

I suppose it will hit gas prices too.

It's just starting. Prices on everything should jump up soon - IF you can get the items you want.

Yeah, bulk corn here has gone from $0.13/# to $0.195/# in my last three trips, pretty significant. Feed has been going up but not as notably...yet.

Bird seed and black sunflower seed gone up 2-3 dollars a bag.

Taking issue with the cost of feeding wildlife that are better off fending for themselves is a classic First World problem.

You need to buy from a feed mill in 50lb bags for a better deal.

Seems you just want to get into politics.
The CPI calculator shows we've gone up 4% since January.
