[QUOTE="Gus, post: 302588, member: 5371"] Aubrac, I agree totally. The good producers have done all the things needed to become low cost producers and will continue to adjust as the "rules of the game" change. The rules now become grass land values relative to feed grain prices. Up until now I could dry lot cows and feed them during summer grazing months rather than to rent grass. A cow/calf unit was costing $30-35 dollars per month for a 5.5 month season. Along with this cost you had trucking and gas money to sometimes travel long distances to check cattle. I could dry lot them cheaper with cheap grain. Now one is going to have to refigure with both land and roughage as well as grains being high. Those close to ethanol plants who can utilize DG have a huge advantage over those who are not. Gus [/QUOTE]
