Feed Commodity prices have dropped substantially since Mid June. It may take a few weeks to work through the system for some feed companies.

We dropped the price of Layer Crumbles at our Feed Store by almost $2/bag this week.

that's what i thought and when i called today, it was up. he had told me the other day to not buy the cracked corn in bulk cuz it was suppose to be going down.

i feel like i'm playing the stock market.

i still have feed, maybe i'll see what the price will be next week.

Your feed Store owner must have a better crystal ball than I have. The USDA Crop Condition Report will be issued on August 14, I believe that report will show we have a very good crop. If that is the case we should be in good shape for feed prices to maintain their current level.

The bigger unknows for feed manufacturers is the price of vitamins and minerals which have risen very high and are due to make more increases.

I use to work at Riceland Foods. I contacted them because on their website they talk about soymeal and grain they sell for animal food. I thought great I could buy in bulk for when my meat birds come. They told me they don't sell on small scale. I send a message to several people about how they were built by the small farmer but won't cater to them now. I was on my soap box. Oh and speaking of soapbox I even got on the subject they won't sell to the small business to sell their ricebran oil for making soap.
