And that, friends, is your Day Drinking Guide. Go forth and Day Drink. Ben Robinson is Thrillist's editorial director, and is way too busy loving sleep to do any research on a Morning Drinking story. Follow him home by 8pm (although to your own home), and also at @BenjoRobinson.
Looking for tomatoes to can this week and the price per bushel is $15.00 to $17.00. Kinda frightening, but it's been that type of growing season. We're going to do two bushels regardless. Also going to freeze some sweet corn using SweetPea's recipe that she graciously re-posted.
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.
