Corn in my area sells for $9-10/bag (usually about 60 lbs) and it’s killin me. Does anybody know of any less expensive suppliers. I’m in the midlands,just north of Columbia.
I figure deer corn will be around 8$ and up depending on the area. Drought has it burnt slap up in most places.
yep, I’m afraid you are right:frowning_face:

deer corn prices should mirror market price for corn, always did until corn went high and people who sell it found out people would pay 8-9 a bag.

Richard lee Carter and his son Micheal are picking it and have some of the biggest ears I’ve seen around here. They are in Henderson and cob corn is $7.00 or was? Probably the best corn crop in Colleton county, or in the top ten.

Picking and bagging have always been a factor. But price is price. Bagging and picking corn is not worth an extra $4 over market price. But guys like to sell deer corn cause its under the table money.

Fishin’Coach was recently advertising some for sale. Whole ears I think. Send him a PM, I think he said he had 50 bags, that was a few days ago.
I quit raising chickens and pigs when the price of feed became higher than the price of eggs and pork chops. I honestly don’t know how farmers make a living, and I’m surrounded by them. Farming and fishing are hard ways to make a living. Got to love it.

About the same every year. Starts around $10 / bag and then settles around $8 as we go forward in the season. Unless, you have a farmer pretty much year over year that supplies you, then you’ll likely get the better price. Kinda supply vs demand issue this time of year.
I just paid $10 / bag @ Cainhoy feed. 10 bags and I’m good until our regular supplier kicks in and delivers.
Mystic knight I have cob corn for $7 a bag straight off the farm. This is the same price as last year for us. Located halfway between Camden and Bishopville. 803-272-2735 Tommy
