[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1595640, member: 25884"] Due to the huge fire at the Tyson fresh meats processing plant in Ks, this past Friday night, there will be a BIG backload of ready to kill beef that will have to be swallowed up by other plants. Since so many have shut down in the last few years, most plants have been running at 80-90% capacity.... so that is going to make it difficult. So that will back up into the feeder side some. Plus waiting on the results of the new update on acres of corn planted. If it runs near average or so of 88-89 mil acres, then corn prices should be down. If due to the wet spring, alot of those acres did not get planted, and it runs short of 86 mil or so, then corn prices will go up, feeder prices always drop when corn gets too high. I unfortunately see prices dropping also. Many of the small farm sell outs here are a combination of 2 things. Farmers older, and the next generations do not want to work that hard for little or no return. And in this area, population growth, and land prices going so high that you cannot make it pay. Since this area here is more a grazing area due to restricted amounts of tillable land in any size, a farmer cannot pay the 5-10,000 an acre, or more, and ever expect to make it pay. Not with the prices we are getting for feeders. There is also getting to be a problem with outsiders moving in, and all the BS with pollution and protecting the land and water quality.... they don't want ANYTHING to go into the streams that is animal related, but their chemicals on their perfect lawns aren't part of the problem...... and they fight against a farmer that wants to build a poultry house to help spread out his investment into something that he feels will help his cash flow and enable him to keep his dairy that is not paying the bills..... We are fighting here against people such as that.
