Corn Prices Break All-Time Records

CommentPost a Comment

(DES MOINES, Iowa) -- Corn prices have skyrocketed to $8.12 per bushel for the first time ever, according to the Des Moines Register.

The previous all-time high was $7.99 in July 2008.

Corn prices may continue to rise because the entire eastern half of Iowa is under a severe drought.
