"Johanns said reopening the border was vital for the domestic cattle business. He said beef prices in the United States have risen too high since May 2003, when the border was closed after Canada's first case of mad cow disease."
I'd say it is about time beef prices get a little higher. The Omaha Daily Journal-Stockman on July 21, 1948 reported fats @ $37. At a price of $85 today, it has taken 57 years for the price to rise 230%. That is out of line?
From the same paper on the same date a "like new" 1948 Massey-Harris combine was being offered at $2875. Anybody want to compare that to a combine today? Should we compare autos? How about clothing? Gas?
