When corn is $4 a bushel there is 5.6 cents worth of corn in a 18oz box of corn flakes. When corn goes up to $6 a bushel there is 8.6 cents worth of corn in that box.
A liter of soda pop has 3.3 cents worth of corn at $4 a bushel. 5 cents when corn gets to $6 a bushel.
It takes 12.6 cents worth of corn to produce a gallon of milk when corn is $4 per bushel. 19.3 cents at $6 per bushel.
Cost to produce one pound of meat goes up about 10 cents for beef 13 cents for pork and 10 cents for chicken when corn goes up from $4 per bushel to $6.
I guess my point is when corn goes up to $6 it does not greatly affect the cost of food.
Costs to produce a box of corn flakes goes up 3 cents a box and the processors raise the box by a quarter.
Just keep this in mind when grain prices get up to where they have been lately.
