[QUOTE="GMN, post: 822358, member: 2382"] I can't remember the last time we had cheap feed? About 5-6 years ago-maybe? It was in the $6-$8 hundred range then. best time we had it was when milk was $20 a cwt, and feed was $8-then paying bills was easy and making improvements were possible too. You have to think of what else is high as well now, fuel, fertilizer and seed. If corn would go down, and milk prices would remain in the $16 range-it still would be hard, because everything has gone up because diesel is pushing $4 a gallon, anything that is transported by trucks or trains, has increased, groceries etc...I don't see feed prices comng down that much because diesel is high-and if milk prices drop more than $3 a cwt,its not gonna be good. The spring pastures will help for sure-but with everything else being sky high-it won't be a good situation. [/QUOTE]
