Neighbor grows a lot of barley on ground his family owns and every dry farm he can rent on the west side of the valley (he also has the GMC truck, and Polaris dealerships). Well he weighted some trucks at the feed store today that are hauling barley to Idaho, said he is getting $16/cwt for his barley at the malting elevators.

I get the spent barley from my local micro-brewery for feeding. The brewmaster told me he's paying $51 per cwt for malted barley now.

Hops is in short supply also. Hate to see my beer bill this coming summer.

I heard a minimum raise of $1.25 a six pack- and that was for the cheap stuff :shock: When inflation starts affecting the price of booze and wimmen thats when you know its getting serious... :wink:

The rising prices of the two items mentioned above are directly inflating because of short supply and rising demand.

There are only 3 major hops growers in the U.S. now because of over-supply a few years ago. Barley is in demand worldwide because of grain and fertilizer shortages.

Natural events will cause prices to moderate as supplies increase.

Kind of like when soybeans went to $12-$14 during the Carter administration and fell to $4 overnight when he enacted the grain embargo. :D

You wanna hear the worst? Watched an article on tv about hops being in short supply, so they're changing the recipe on your favorite beers. They'll taste different now. Might as well switch to whiskey and vodka boys!
