[quintinp]

i hate this, it was 7.99 now it is 9.99 what is with that i hate that BAaaaahhhh i used to love Orchelns for there low prices on feed, now this AAAAAH

unfortunately the price of corn went up...My horse feed went up too. And now gas is back over 3 bucks and heading up up up! I may have to start riding the horses to work to compensate for the higher feed cost and save on gas!

yeah haha i was shocked today when i saw that price, it was 9.99 on the price tag, 10.87 with tax, i went into the feed store with a ten dollar bill, it was embarrassing not having enough money too

 

[quintinp]

is this a yearly thing for the chicken feed to do this, maybe it is, and i just didn't realize it last year, i dunno

 

[scbatz33]

It is a bit cyclical....corn tends to be lower in the late summer/fall when harvest is over. But I think this is a reflection of not only that cycle but the fact that inputs....like gasoline/diesel keep going up and so the manufacturers have to compensate for that increase in production costs and thus pass the increase on to the consumers.

Man economics sucks!

I noticed that our feed went up in prices a couple of weeks ago but thank goodness we don't have to pay sales tax on chicken feed.

Two dollars may seem like a lot to you, but at 9.99 a bag, you are getting off cheap. Feed here is $14.50/50 pound bag!

Agreed! It's much more than $10 a bag here for the good stuff.

Corn prices went up, and gas is going up, too. Costs more of them to process it and transport it.
