<iYes it has gone through the roof. Two years ago it was still selling for what it sold for 100 years ago. Kind of a reverse bubble that popped. Prices on grain are demand driven and set by consumers and not producers. Demand is up and weather problems have caused a slump in supply. Farmers buy ay retail and sell at wholesale, you know of another business that works that way? And how was corn planted, tilled and harvested 100 years ago? You're the farmer, but I'd say it's grown on a much larger scale now.
