[QUOTE="Beef11, post: 332404, member: 2705"] All of the other expenses went up and that was due to increased energy prices. Hay went up do to increased demand and lower production. Next year we will see higher than average prices for hay on a National level due to the hay ground that will be planted into Corn. Most other crops will see the acreage crunch and prices will go up accordingly. Cattle and hogs will feel the crunch in a negative way and the feeding sector will have to adapt to the high prices and move from there. In short if you rely heavily on hay in your cattle enterprise get ready to take a beating for the next few years. If you raise cattle and hay it might be a good time to sell the cows and put up even more hay. If it is profit you seek. [/QUOTE]
