Saw the price for corn is way up with all other commodities this year. I've moved toward some food plots on smaller properties here in even this god awful state!! Very rewarding last year and I expanded some this year. Lots of work, but very satisfying watching it evolve. Difficult here though on properties where trespassing is gonna be an issue.

We used to spend $8 for 100lbs. Since the ethanol fuel craze, it's $14.

Its not just that! I have talked to farmers...the cost of fertilizers is through the roof...There were only two places that provided pot hash that is used in fertilizer and the one place had a flood and wiped out the area...the other area is a mining area in Canada...Kind of supply and demand...atleast thats what this farmer was telling me!:huh:

I had thought that corn was also up due to crops in the midwest lost from flooding the past 2 months, almost all of the corn this year is still from last year ....correct ?

Commercial fertilizer uses a lot of natural gas to make it and diesel fuel to transport it. As far as I know Intrepid mines most of our potash out West, but I haven't heard of them being wiped out, but that means nothing just because I haven't heard anything. Intrepid mines potash in Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico. Nitrogen, Phosphate, and Potash prices have risen over 30 % because of worldwide demand. Ethanol hasn't affected it, because here in New Jersey we don't produce it in great quantities and any farmer who joins the Ethanol program here will have to produce at least 10,000 bushels of corn per year and then we will see how high the price goes. My grower tells me his fertilizer prices have quadrupled. He also sells only clean dried corn which is heated by natural gas to reduce athoflaxin mold which is deadly to young deer that haven't been raised on it which means some of us who begin to feed just for deer season and putting corn onto a pile may be killing more deer than they realize.
