well, it says trophy buck on it, so that means they get to raise the price.

Straight theft right there. I take my $ elsewhere when I see businesses do things like that.

BROOKSHIRES has 50 lbs for $11.24 if you buy 10 bags. Get 10 but they only charge for 9. Picked up 500 lbs Friday.

must be the 60 lbs. bag. Right? Lol! I was being sarcastic! I could see it on the bag. These days even if it said 60 I wouldn’t trust it.

A bushel of corn weighs around 56 lbs
If you take the spot price per bushel + the bag + recleaning + pallet cost + labor overhead profit, you get close to the wholesale price. You have to add something for delivery to the retailer
Here is what I come up with my best guess
$6.05 Spot price per 50lbs 9/6/22
$ 1.00 Printed bag and label
$ 0.25 Recleaning
$ 0.50 Pallet (40bags on 20$ pallet)
$ 2.50 L/O/P
$ 0.50 Delivery
$10.80 Wholesale cost per bag delivered
I got a quote today of 11.05 per bag delivered and we will put a 11.95 retail which doesn't make anyone a wealthy man. You see that $4.75 per bag doesn't change that much but the bushel price does and if they bought back in April they probably paid $2.25 per bushel more than it is now? If the retailer is putting a normal 25% markup on the wholesale cost the retail price would be $14.75 per bag today.
Hope that helps explain what's happening?
They make ammo specifically for hunting for a reason!

Well, thank you for explaining in terms that I can understand. I don't know how some of you guys hunting in south Texas
can afford to fill up all the feeders that you run at a time. I had 3 going last year. Now I have one. Corn at Tractor Supply
in De Queen Arkansas was $16.75 a bag last week.

Hope that helps explain what's happening? Thanks for breaking it down. It's still robbery when we were paying $8.00 per bag not that long ago.

How is it robbery? I don’t see anyone making obscene profits at those numbers. Virtually all those steps have increased costs they are facing as well. Yeah it sucks that it went up but robbery implies that someone is taking advantage of you and I don’t see that.
