better stock up on corn...

It looks like it's about to get ugly...the new corn harvest projections look terrible and prices in Chicago just jumped 13% yesterday...

Awesome! They are better than I ever expected...they will run 25mph and run all day...when they claimed they had a 50 mile range I just assumed it was sales hyperbole but I can run around all day at the ranch and the battery "fuel gauge" rarely even gets off full...they came with 8 six volt batteries (a lot of 48V carts have 6 eight volt batteries) so they have huge range...

Thats good to hear. Do they have a web. site?

Yeah, here's the website but the "deal" is over...the 4 passenger cart I got last year with the tax credit basically just for paying shipping is now 8K+ (It was $6500 with a $6500 tax credit when I bought it) and the six passenger I paid $500 plus shipping for (after the tax credit) is now almost 10K. I think there is still a 10% tax credit but the 100% tax credit deals are gone...

I heard that corn futures are going to go through the roof and corn will double in price by December. We bought 2 tons from TSC last week. Pretty clean corn and GREAT price.

Yeah, the worldwide grain harvest was terrible this year. We are going to see dramatic cost increases not only at the feed store but at the grocery store. I'm filling all the feeders this weekend and refilling my corn trailer Monday.

And since Ethanol is mandated in our fuel, we can expect to pay more at the pump too.

Glad we have 17 million pounds in the grain silo.

Even if it belongs to the state
