SOLD/EXPIRED Brunos Bulk BR4 Small Rifle Primers - Lot of 15,000

Farmers don't get to choose there prices. It's market price. Sure they can sign contracts specially with crops.
The options they have are what to plant and when depending on outlook, whether to do grain storage or just sell into prevailing priced markets, or whether to sell forward partially hedged or fully forward on the whole crop. They have to be part farmer, part economist, and part market trader to survive these days, and big time negotiator when it comes to buying or repairing ol John Deere.
A farmer has to be a thinking man and a rather sophisticated cuss these days......

Unless they're rice farmers. Those guys have it figured out!!! Paid to plant rice, paid to not plant rice, all backed by the government!
 
The cattle guys are still getting hammered. It's not the ones raising the cattle making the money, it's the 5 people between the cattle auction and the meat shelf at the super market that are getting rich!
What is the supply chain in steps? Can't the rancher take his cattle directly to the auction and get the prevailing market price?
Sure once the cattle are sold, then there is the meat processor adding his 2 cents or dollars to butcher, process, and package, and then there is the transport and distribution to grocery stores, and then the retail mark up at the grocery. That's the final retail cost at the store.

But the graph I put up is "Wholesale Prices" paid at the auctions for live cattle to the ranchers unless they have sold to a feed lot or some local guy who carries the cattle to the auction.

Yep, the govt. through subsidies and policies cause unintended consequences in markets, whether agriculture, steel, or fuel.
A farmer can plant his corn field in CRP and get paid too with no risk and no harvest. But, corn is getting pretty good prices these last few years.

I'll ask my dad what he got on the hoof for steers last month at the auction. It wasn't much and he was laughing about the cost of meat at the super market compared to what he got at auction.
 
Thats great, and you can get better deals at some LGS w no hazmat or shipping, but even at the LGS BR or Match will generally be more.

CCI seems to be on the high end vs. Federal but then there seem to be more CCI avail than Federal too.

Youd think the CCI would be less?

Whether people want to admit it or not, its price conditioning is whats going on.
If this becomes the "normal" mark my words it will happen again and regular primers will be 200.00- 1,000 and powder 100.00 a pound and that will be the new
NORMAL.
Read the article that just came out from Vista.
Oh and buy the way I dont own a
70,000 dollar truck or
A boat or not even a raft or an RV.
The most expensive gun I have cost me 2500.00 for parts and after 35 years I figured I would treat myself to 1 full custom.
My dad taught me a good lesson leave things better for the person behind you well im not doing anybody any favors by buying these ridiculous primer and powder prices. So see it how you want and justify how you want, at this rate people will need a second job just to shoot not happening to me ill quit first.
So carry on.
