High Springs, Florida | Here's the problem. GM, Ford, Toyota, etc. make MILLIONS of cars, trucks. THEY TELL THE BUYER WHAT TO PAY. Farmers grow millions of bushels of corn, wheat, oats, barley, etc. THE BUYERS TELL YOU WHAT THEY WILL PAY YOU. Doesn't seem fair. You sell your corn for $3.xx bushel, and the feed mill bags it, SETS THE PRICE and sells it for $8.00. They have nowhere near the labor, equipment, blood, sweat and tears into that corn that you have.
So, I pose the question, if you had to set a price for hens, eggs, corn, etc, what would it be compared to the commodity price?
Some farmers, like in the hay post above, can set their own price, to a certain extent. But there is always that low life guy down the road that will undercut you. | |
