^ Well darn doubling corn prices appears to good for everybody.

doubling corn prices? That's odd!! Also what would you like it at? LDP rate again? Yeah that worked out really good last time didn't it? Largest integration of poultry and hogs in ag history in that time frame. From the looks in stock talk I don't think grain prices are the problem.


Are you suggesting that since 2006 higher grain prices have not hurt the livestock industry or consumers?  I have not blamed recent market moves on ethanol, nor has anyone. There is no industry that is not affect when one of their key raw materials doubles in price and they are unable to pass all that cost along to consumers. That is economic 101. 

The livestock industry can't run to government for another subsidy or bailout every so often. You corn guys really have no shame. 

so what. What has hogs and cattle done the past 4 years? I raise cattle. Raise our own silage and but wet feed. With rise in cattle prices there was good money in it. Hog we were shut out in the 90's.

I'm sick of hearing about the no programs for livestock. You had plenty of subsidies with $1.80 corn and $4 beans. Let's not forget the payout for 2012 that guys made a killing off of. So now we are at $3.50 corn so what are you gonna complain about now? You want $3? 2? $1.50? Then cargill and Tyson can start building stocks and buying more buildings again like the 90's and early 2000's. Put the rest out of business.
