$3.99 per # on Costco prime packers in Louisiana as well. 

Let’s not get into economics in the brisket thread….true inflation should be closer to 30% compared to where it’s being stated. If the commodities market were allowed to properly drive it, very few of us would be able to afford anything let alone briskets and diesel

you's just got in it.     so you is happy with letting monopolies stay driving the bus?     ok

Isn’t that what a free market economy is all about? Of course I’m not fine with it. I couldn’t live in a 30% inflation scenario very long…..but that’s what food manufacturers are seeing. 30%. 

 Groceries are cheap.

And farmers make all the money

Haha you are funny.  On average i sell 60 lbs of wheat for 5$. (assuming I grew bread wheat which i don’t) and you can make roughly 90 1 pound loafs (according to google) with that bushel,, and bread is at what 1$ a loaf? Is that $85? On my 5$?

your math is wrong. 3 bushels makes 100# of flour. Given that, one bushel is 33#….that’ll get me about 45 loaves that I can sell for $45. I don’t make $45 on that one bushel

 I figured it was way off cited my source.  I can't imagine the overhead and headaches of owning a bakery. On top of that when people go to bitching about inflation the first thing they say is "the price of bread is x!"

 You can have the profit with the headaches.  Most years wheat is not very profitable compared to beans and corn in my area with this year being the acceptation.   It will be interesting how many guys sow wheat this fall, Biden is potentially offering $10 an acre discount on crop insurance.... that would be like offering you a extra penny per loaf if you crank up production.

Just like your business, mine is about how much dough weight we push thru the system every hour. Pieces don’t count in my world, it’s all about tonnage. We run at “x” per hour overhead. Breakdowns cost us by the minute, literally.
