milk 5.25 a gal 2 perc w.t.f

No corn to feed the milk cows...more is going to ethanol fuel...amazing that milk is higher than fuel per gallon.

Oil is researched, explored, discovered, drilled, pumped out of ground thousand of miles away, pumped to fuel depots in Middle East, shipped halfway around the world, unloaded and refined, pumped back on trucks to your local gas station. $3.19 approx where you live per gallon!

COWS EAT and MAKE MILK for the most part in local farms, $5.25 per gallon.

milk futures?

Corn is through the roof.
I don't drink milk anymore since I had that unfortunate incident. The one when I was taking a sip and the cow tried to sit on my head.

Correct. Too late for corn futures.
Interesting, if you go to page 2 of this forum and look at "honey bee news" and scroll down, you'll see that a while back I mentioned corn and soybean futures. Watch for big increases in many other crops that depend on pollinators (think apples, fruit concentrates, veg oils, on and on).

Saw something on the news here this morning. They lost most of the bees here in Florida last fall, so they are thinking it may happen again this fall. They're bracing themselves.

CRAP!!! Hopefully the bees will have built a system defense for whatever is attacking them....altho that hasn't happened as yet!
Meanwhile...I thought my grocery store was jacking the price in anticipation of a labor dispute!

Timm,
The bee problem ain't Bush's fault, but I'm thinkin' it has something to do with
their immune systems (kinda like aids -hiv) but on an entomological level.
Food prices are going nuts, but it looks like the increases in fuel costs are being passed on, for what makes the tractors go, or the big rigs that deliver it to the stores. Labor disputes...down the line (when salaries don't come close to puttin' food on the table). Milk? Butter? Ice cream?
Oh my!
btw...the farmers ain't getting rich either.

Milk's no good for you anyway.

Now there's something we're in total agreement on!

[timmgirvan]

It's a jungle out there!

Good OJ $8.00/gal

Milk $5.25/gal

Gas $3.00/gal

I guess it's much easier to make gas than bottle a gallon of juice or milk.

Is that with or without the vodka?

Without! Place in Hollywood, on the way to/from Gulf. They got the orchard right there. Grapefruit juice too. Stuff is the best.

AS soon as I can get a gallon of vodka for $5, I'll give up the juice and go with that alone.
