The US Censusâ âraceâ question will continue to become ever-more meaningless as long as it attempts to separate and group things in ways that have little or no meaning. There is no such race as âWhiteâ or âHispanic.â Hispanic is a cultural identification; one may be Hispanic and Bback, Asian, etc.
Using todays corn closing here in my area I would only pay $.05 per pound for dry ear corn. Don't worry how many bushels are in the wagon use only weights from a scale. For years the standard has been 70 lbs ear corn = 1 bushel of shell corn. But 2 years ago I bought a variety from a neighbor that ended up 68# .
During 2011, 2012 and early 2013, local cash corn prices in Southern Minnesota spent very little time below $5.00-$6.00 per bushel. However, since September of 2013, local corn prices have not risen above $5.00 per bushel at most locations, and prices have not been above $4 per bushel since June 2014.
