Grain price Predictions for Poultry feed 2023?

[garfield89]

I run a small flock of broilers during spring and summer, usually raising them on organic feed then selling finished birds direct to customer.

Retailing my birds helped absorb some of the price increases this year but I can't see the point raising any broilers next year if feed is the same or higher.

Earlier this year one of our feed reps had some fairly bleak forecasts for 2023 prices for conventional feed, and even bleaker for organic.

What are the current forecasts for next year?

Currently prices seem to be static for next year, would it be worth fixing a quantity as I’ll be surprised if it drops after Christmas

As farmers I think we are all used to undestermating our product worth. Another post has a retailer selling turkeys at 127 pounds each. Wtf My friend and neighbour sells meat into the city from various sources. Talking with him a short while back he said two years ago no one wanted smaller 3-4 lb chickens now it the other ways around as the consumer see a dollar value not the price per pound. As said if you have the customers then increase your price. Everyone does
