Mine too has doubled to sixteen fifty a bag. That is for feed wheat. We cant even get the good wheat everyone talks about.

yeah,wheat has gone up the most tho safflower has gone from $36 to $43.The cost of fuel has been a big cause of the price rise.Transport.I live on a small island so it is even more,$23.99-70lbs and it is just feed grade as well.I've been told the red hard #1 wheat is all bought up by the Canadian Wheat Board and hoarded for export.

Last time I purchased wheat from the local feed store. 24 bucks for 50 lbs. Looks grim for us straight wheat and milo fliers.

You are right Santandercol... we are being gouged by the petroleum companies.... especially EXXON Mobile!
I've been trying to convince my wife into the idea of saving up enough money in order to someday buy a solar-electric hybrid car called the Venturi Astrolab. It's a state of the art vehicle manufactured in Monaco, France by Venturi Automobiles.
Click on photo for larger image
With a car that can run on solar power... I could VIRTUALLY drive back and forth and up and down the Las Vegas strip all day long. Just take into consideration that temperatures in Las Vegas have been known to reach 110 degrees fahrenheit.
The Venturi Astrolab is the first solar-electric hybrid car to hit the market. It rolled out in January 2008. The Venturi Astrolab is not a concept car. It will rollout as a full production zero emission vehicle with a cool price tag of around $117,000.00 U.$.
NOTE: The Venturi Astrolab uses photovoltaic cells with an impressive 21-percent yield and the french company (Venturi of France) believes even greater yields can be achieved in the years to come.
