Rising Feed Costs


May 18th 2011
Perhaps the greatest concern that producers have is not so much the price of milk, but rather the price and availability of feed. Obviously, there has been much greater growth in feed values than in milk prices. Speculation is partly to blame. Demand for product has also remained strong. The bottom line is that prices have risen across the board for all feed stuffs. Corn and soybeans remain the leader as the balance of the forage and protein markets take their queu from them. This will likely not subside until a general level of contentment is reached with the progress of this years crop and the overall available world supply.
