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# .
Farm level corn prices will average $3.33 a bushel for the 2016-17 marketing year, Westhoff estimates. Thatâs very close to the midpoint of the price range of $2.95 to 3.55 per bushel in USDAâs November WASDE (World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates). For U.S. corn planted next year, Westhoff puts the average price in the following, 2017-18, marketing year at $3.57 per bushel, close to the upper end of USDAâs price range. One reason is that Westhoff expects fewer corn acres next year, with his projection at 91.3 million planted acres, down from this yearâs 94.5 million acres.
