I earned $10 per hour on a hog farm in 1987, $11 today is a joke.
Yea, but I got $3 a bu for oats in 1988, last year the coop said they really aren't buying any unless the little bin in the feed mill has room, and then it was about $1.50 a bu, he wasn't really sure would have to look it up.....
So yea, prices are a joke, labor, raw food commodities, etc.....
