THAT was a great deal!!! You'll need every one with all that acreage...to perimeter and cross fence, pens, garden, etc.

A dream fantasy come true!!!!

It may be a long time before you see prices like that again unless things settle down. Friends were over this afternoon to pick up some eggs and he said he just paid a little over $12,000 to fertilize his farm where in the past, the same amount of fertilizer cost $4,000.

That is insane. But it ain’t going to get any better for a long time.

@Mike CHS , that is what we are seeing... 2-3x the cost to fertilize. We spent more on the 15 acres of corn that we planted this year than on 20 acres last year... and DS didn't put on what he normally does on the hay ground except the orchard grass... It is really really bad.....

Everything is crazy here. 50lbs of grain is 30, 3 string bale of hay is 60! And to top it off we can’t even get more then a few t post here… they are sold out. Inflation hurts.

Yes it does. Tighten your belt, its only getting started. Stock up on groceries because there will be higher prices than you have ever seen and shortages there too. If you don't grow a garden, it would be a good time to start one. If you need help, I'll be glad to assist you. Join the garden sister site www.theeasygarden.com I'm Baymule there too.

I'm leaving around noon to go to San Antonio, will spend night with friend Sarah. Tuesday we are going to the Alamo, the shrine of Texas freedom, going to do the river walk, ride the boat and have a good time. Wednesday morning I'll be up early and go to Llano to pick up my 5 new ewes, then come home. I can't wait to see my new girls! I'll see y'all later!

I have no idea where that lady got her 15% from.

From her imagination? I hope your discount doesn't come out of her next paycheck!

The guy with the used 7' posts was going off Home Depot prices. He thought $6 for his used T-posts was a deal!

They were, compared to the current $11 price at HD! Of course he probably bought his (from who knows where) long ago for less than $6 and was making money on them.

My local "chain tractor store" (which doesn't sell tractors ) has the same $6.99/5% off each for 400 or more price you got. Yeah, let's skip the big box store for farm stuff. Maybe someone needing 2 to string up beans or something would buy those. Certainly not to fence a pasture.

Since several other employees were at the register and were agreeing with her, I don’t think so.
