As long as I can continue to buy corn in a can for 50 cents I don't care.

I mean how do they make any money at all off that? I just bought two while chickens from Caputo's for 6 bucks. The chickens while life was worth maybe two dollars?

But it won't stay at $0.50.  Costs will go up.  How much? no way to know.  But keep in mind that everything that requires aluminum will go causing a chain effect of increased consumer prices.  The machines that make the cans, the machines that harvest the corn, the machines that separate the corn, the machines that package the corn, the vehicles that deliver the corn, the warehouse that stores the corn, the store that sells the corn.....see that butterfly effect?  Now apply that to all cans, all cars, all machines, etc....

That corn manufacturer may be getting a bail out but what about everything else in the supply chain?  Are you ready to pay for that too?

 

Trump is playing with something he doesn't have the intelligence to understand.

What is wrong with prices going up anyway? Everything in America is WAY to cheap, If you guys really care about your farmers you should pay more for food. 

Two who chickens for $6 is insane. They should be charging like $3-4bux per kg  assume he bought uncooked

Cooked one should be min $8. 

Even if your prices went up 20%, it would still be way under what people pay in other countries. Surely such a small increase to ensure your farming economy survives would be a fair price to pay?
