With the price of corn going up and up. Could one buy a pallet or two of corn now, keep it in the garage and use it next year?

keep it cool or weevils will turn it to dust.

I would think mice would chew a lot of holes in those bags by then. I've kept a few bags in my garage and they found them eventually. And those weevils do get in there.

Well, I can't keep it cool in a hot garage, so I guess I will just pay the increased
prices next year.

Buy now and set up a storage account at a feed mill.

You can store it, just not always that practical

Corn prices are all speculation right now, winter wheat hasn’t even been cut yet, so a lot of corn hasn’t been even planted. This is for any where in the northern hemisphere

I often have enough stacked in my workshop to fill one feeder not because of price, but for convenience. I have never had mice but still keep rat poison in the rafters just in case they ever show up. Nor had any problem with weevils. I run a bug bomb in there at least once a year. I figure it is much less exposed to vermin and humidity in my workshop than in the back of a feed store.

Yea, I don’t think it’s a lock that price will go up. Not saying it won’t. When you say next year, are you talking the coming season or a whole year? And if only talking one pallet it seems it would have to go up a WHOLE LOT to be worth any change in routine.

I think prices are definitely going to go up, the Russians stopped exporting Ammonium Nitrate last week, they make up about 60% of the world's supply.

When the weevils hatch, as they are already in the kernels, they will get in your house and your wife will freak. Don’t do it.
