| FS&I for 10/11 was 6,428 last year 6,439.. I'm at 6,450 with lower prices..
I was surprised at Ray J's reaction at feed bouncing back 700 myn in USDA's numbers.. yesterday. Feed has been.. starting in 08/09: 5,182, 5,140, 4,793, 4,545 and this year's 4,450.. However, the last two year's we've poured EVERYTHING at feeding livestock.. I had Neighbor's grazing cotton stubble.. COTTON STUBBLE.. another neighbor baled his corn stalks and sent them to Dalhart Tx.. You know how many loads that is.. on 25 pivots???
There wasn't ANYTHING.. left.. it was getting to the point that guys were fighting over TUMBLE WEEDS.. (you want that?)
The next surprise is going to be the wheat stocks number.. we're feeding wheat STILL today.. "here." There is NO CORN.. as I said yesterday.. 50 elevators had a sum total of 200,000 bushels of corn left to buy.. THAT's IT!!
.. until harvest starts in 8 days.
We've pulled off a miracle JUST TO GET TO THIS POINT. |
