Reply to  Al Jones-- It must be the winter doldrums.  This morning in 
Vermont  it is about zero outside, and about zero inside in my interest 
in more  winter...   I would be interested in some comments from those in  
the know (all the people on this list, of course) about the news article  
last night that corn is now $10/bushel, so wheat is now going up in  
price-- to the point where one grower interviewed said he never in his  
lifetime saw such a high price for wheat.  Baker's flour- 50# sack  was 
$15, now $40. 
 
well I sure wish   I    could  get someone to  pay me  $10  for  corn---  
that's  just not the  case...  
today it was  $5.09  where I  haul to     IF  it were a perfect sample.. I 
seldom have a perfect sample.
Wheat  actually has been the price leader  over the past   6mnths.. and 
should have  longer since for the last 4yrs we have produced  less wheat each year  
than we had in  1970 (at nearly the same  prices)   and  I know the demand is 
up (as well as the price at  the retail market)      Wheat today  on the  
Minneapolis market was  $18   because  of  world  wide  lack of  a crop.         
I  hauled my corn in at $4 / bu   so I did not get the $5 that  was on the 
board and  I am assuming most  farmers are like me--- sold  out  at a  GOOD PRICE 
 not getting that  Big figure   BUT  still having to  pay  the prices as if  
we  did.   ( Nitrogen has doubled).
 
 
As to the subsities on  Corn  taking  the acres away  ....     well  as the 
price goes up  the subsity  goes down.  And  as of  now  we dont  have   a  
farm program....   maybe we do maybe we dont.
