[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 114886, member: 1715"] $60 per acre is very cheap for corn. Check the web for ways to estimate the tons per acre and moisture level, assume the cattle will eat 60% of it, and then calculate the $ per lb. of dry matter. I can grow grazing corn for less than the price of good hay most years. My green corn cost is in the the range of U$S 0.020 to U$S 0.025 per pound of dry matter. Just think of it as a warm season grass. [/QUOTE]
