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# .
The period of double-digit seed cost increases corresponds to an increase in the long-run average level of corn prices. From the mid-1970s to the mid-2000s, corn prices average about $2.40 per bushel. In the mid-2000s, corn use in producing ethanol increased, resulting in an overall corn price increase. While $2.40 per bushel was the average before 2006, a more reasonable estimate of the long-run price after 2006 is $4.60 per bushel.
