[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 348685, member: 1715"] If grain prices were up because the supply was short - - you would expect a good production year to bring prices back down. But we are having high grain production and high grain prices due to all the ethanol plants coming on line. These plants will keep running even if their subsidy is cut. The only thing that would really impact them is crude oil prices. I don't think we can expect cheap oil soon... Latin America has had high priced grain and still produced a lot of beef, but most of it is grass feed. I have been converting crop land to beef pasture. It was a no brainer when folks were losing money growing $2 corn, but the comparison of grain vs. grazing returns has really changed this past year. [/QUOTE]
