I also heard we don't have enough rail capacity to transport the corn either. Huge crop.
Most silos and facilities in the midwest are full to capacity this year between a bumper crop and the slow down of moving grain out due to the last winter being hard. He may not have any choice to leave it standing.
Any chance you could get depredation? You could clean up. I know I have a freezer to fill. Then if you could talk the guy out of his corn, you could, um, make stuff out of it.
I'm gonna guess it's field corn, you probably don't want it
Perhaps not in its current form
I guess ethanol production isn't in high demand with all this surplus sitting about?
Some farmers are having to store their grain in the field this year. The harvest was so big this year in some areas that there simply isn't sufficient room to store it.
This one of the more informative threads on INGO.
^ That's no sh**
Also Ethanol production reached a record high last week.
Not really, mostly a bunch of yuppies that don't know **** about farming.
