This might be better suited for money board but know we have some producers on here as well. Our sorghum didn't do much this year in Kansas but its at the elevator. Thinking about holding it and waiting for prices to rebound.


I know soybean farmers took as big of a hit as any. Strange that with grains down, feeds went up.

At your personal storage or the buyer's storage?

Storage fees might eat you up.

I'm no grain marketer but I think it will take a while to see any material improvement in prices offered growers, that is if any price improvements materialize.

I've thought the same thing. I haven't noticed any cost savings in delivered bulk feed from our local co-op over last 3 years or so, but I've just assumed that wage increases, gas, vehicle cost, insurance cost, etc. may be what is cancelling it out. Thoughts?

We usually don't go to storage and gamble on it paying off. Wife has been getting pressure from other family members to do it but im against it. We aren't rich enough to take that gamble

The money is going somewhere for sure. With the economy the way it is right now as it relates with low grain and fuel prices id think bulk feed would be down but its up from last year

You could check Delta Farm press or their mid-western counterpart to check for info on corn prices/futures.

I think milo is basically a thing of the past in N. La anyway. I hate it, very easy to lose to wind and/or a little rain.

Good luck.
