Also affecting dairy products prices is the cost of feed due to lower yields (drought).
More corn for ethanol= less corn for cows, too.
Don't know about that. Corn is pretty cheap around here, (anything but a drought here though). Farmers are getting $4. per hundred lbs. and we pay $9. per hundred lb. bag at the grain elevator. Probably the lowest we've paid this year, but being harvest time, I'm sure there's a glut of it right now.
