[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1679974, member: 39695"] That's kind of scary optimism. $8 corn in 2021 looks good on paper, until you get ready to buy inputs for 2022. High corn prices will slow ethanol production, curb demand for feeder cattle, and raise prices in the grocery store. I'm all for making money, but when prices get this far out of whack it always comes back to bite us. Around here bred cow prices have skyrocketed. Guys have extra cash from selling grain. Those cows still have to eat more than corn stalks in the winter to survive. By-products won't be a viable option. God forbid we feed $8 corn to stock cows. Silage will cost more. And feeder cattle won't be worth Sh!t. I like $3.50-$4 corn a whole lot more. I can make a little money on the corn and a little money on the cattle at those prices. [/QUOTE]
