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# .
For the decade prior to the ethanol mandate in 2006, corn prices stayed around $2 a bushel â going up or down depending on droughts, rainfall and yields by bushel harvested per acre. Corn sold for $2.28 per bushel in 2006. Last year, the average price nationwide was $6.15.
