all over Iowa | If it's 6%, and plant direct is 3%, then that's over $50 per head at the current market or about $3.60 per cwt. Add to that additional fees you have selling at the salebarn that you don't have selling direct. I always figured I need at least a $5/cwt premium on fats at the salebarn to breakeven. Of course, depending on where you go you might be able to save some of that on trucking. |
