I ve notice bird seed prices have gone up. Why?
There are several factors that affect bird seed prices. The classic supply and demand rule is really kicking in right now. The demand for sunflower seed is really high because of the human consumption market. Have you noticed how many sunflower pictures you are seeing on potato chip bags lately? This is coming at a time when supplies are lower than normal. Many farmers in this country have converted their crop land to corn because of higher profits. These profits are the result of current Ethanol push by the current administration. Will it come back down? No one knows.
