THE HAY, GRAIN AND STEEL SITUATION

Our hay supply remains stable, and I do not expect any drastic changes in price through the remainder of the winter. Good news!

Grain prices are inching slightly upward. Snow has prevented the remaining 5% of corn from being harvested (approximately 600 million bushels). Experts feel that 10% to 30% of this corn will not make it to market, and this is the reason for the increase in price.

Our suppliers keep saying steel prices are increasing. The increase comes from a shortage in raw material. What has really happened is that steel mills have either closed down or cut back as a result of poor demand. Steel products in our industry, i.e. fencing gates, and steel posts have been flat since the economic downturn.

I always ask the steel sales people how they expect to sell their products at a higher price, if they aren't moving now?! All that said, I haven't seen any rise in steel prices as of yet...we can hope, huh?

GOING FROM 2009 TO 2010

I am looking forward to the new year! We just finished our inventory and had our initial meeting with our CPA. We were pleased with the results. A little over a year ago, when we finished construction, we were over budget. This past year we made big strides in catching up, and by the middle of this year should be completely back to square one! I think this is quite an accomplishment in view of the current economic climate.

We appreciate all you loyal customers that make all this possible. Thanks for your business!
