Good I hope the price of corn comes way down, because spring is coming and thats when all the sudden milk prices will drop-so something else will have to give if dairy farmers wil make any money, this winter sure has sucked!
Amazing how the co-ops always find reason to lower prices of milk and the premiums paid for components right at the times you're getting the least milk. But it's been going on for ages it seems.
I welcome corn prices to stay up and milk prices to come down. Most will be floored to read that first sentence. I like to think long term and not short, however. Higher corn means less being used and more being produced which means long term it should help keep corn from absolutely going crazy. With milk coming down that should cap production, especially with high feed and high slaughter prices, and long term result in a more mediocre but sustainable price. Everybody wants cheap feed and high milk prices but such scenarios are almost always short lived and hurt longer.
