Whats the going rate in your area for a 50lb bag? Any word on price increases over the season?

i've seen 8.49-10.50/ 50 lbs. Heard of 7/bag, but i've been paying right at $9. Still buying last years crop and been told this years may roll in within the next 2-3 weeks potentially 1-1.50 less/bag.

$6.60 / 50# bag is what I paid last week Wednesday. Bought it from Leopolds in Nada.

we've been seeing around 9 dollars a bag on average

getting 40lb bags for just over $6.... ^dang NUboy how far is that from Navasota?

Protocal Feeds in Bridgeport has 50lb corn for $8.50 no minimum to buy.

Its located about 30 miles South of Columbus on Hwy 71. Oh, about 10-15 miles on this side of El Campo.

So, prob about 85 miles from Navasota.

Brown Feed in Lampasas was at $7.40/50# bag 2 weeks ago, no minimum (I bought 1k#)... for anyone around the central TX area. I will be going again Sat. morning for another 600# ... will post that price Monday.

$7.50/50 lb bag for deer corn from the fella next door to us.

It's clean! No cob or dust.

Jupe Mills.....$7.50 for 50#

$12.00 a 100 wt. for bulk corn at Williams gin in Frost Texas

Wow, this turned out to be pretty informative. Any talk about price changes?

yeah i hope the price doesnt change from $7.50....haha

I do...lower!

Where? I think corn is around 7.50 bag on the ton at producers in bryan, but if I can save the drive I will. Have we been getting any rain down there lately and what does yalls lake look like.

Lampasas was at 7 even on last Friday when I went and got 5 bags in the back of my focus.

Corn down there seems to be cheaper than what I can pay up here.
Will be around Mt. Pleasant in about two weeks. May need to buy a few bags if the price is right.

Any corn price reports for places in that area?

stopped at Buccees in Luling and they told me $8.50/ 50 # bay. Bought 10 bags and they rang it up @ $7.95

I have a load of corn that will come in Friday. For 8.50 per 50lb bag.

I know that this may not be an option for some folks, but you can buy it bulk straight from the field at $4.80/ bushel (56 lbs.).

Im just 10 miles from there on 10. Let me know if you need corn cheaper and i can get it from my neighbor. Just give me notice to call him first before arriving.

We get it from same farmer every year, this year its $44 a drum and his plastic drums hold about 360lbs. He combines it and has a auger contraption coming off a auger wagon with some type of screen on it, so its always very clean.

I know it has been said on here several times, but be careful taking corn directly from the combine. Make sure it is tested for disease and make sure it isn't too wet.
I have personally always taken it from the combine and stored it in protein tubs (250lb containers) to use all winter and never had a problem with moisture (our corn is tested at grain elevator for disease or Aflatoxin so that part is always covered). However, this year has been above average moisture from south Oklahoma up into Kansas and even Nebraska. Last year we cut our corn on 8/4/2012 and this year it is still green.
With all that being said, I agree is it cheaper to talk with farmers and buy directly from them. Just make sure they have it tested for disease/Aflatoxin and make keep it ventilated if the moisture is too high.

Around here many farmer have handheld moisture meters, so they can get an idea what they have before they start. You make a great point, the farmer we buy from is shipping some and storing some, and they test it and if moisture is too high some places wont take it. They also test for aflatoxin as well

You are right, You will see them cut test strips first and check it.

The elevator will still take it with pretty high moisture content but farmer will get hit with a big discount/fee.

Most farmers don't store their corn unless they are pretty big operations. Plus you can't replant corn"use it for seed" like you can wheat.

Just becareful elevator storage is different then closed barrel storage. Elevator has ways of lowering the moisture, you don't. So what is acceptable to them might still mildew on you.

Never store corn in a plastic barrel
