Brandon Fast says it used to cost him $250 a wheel to replace the tires on his 18-wheeler on his farm near Mountain Lake, Minnesota.
Now, that price is nearly double — just one reason he's not yet celebrating the near-historic $8 a bushel and up corn prices popping up at some ethanol plants and grain elevators throughout southwestern Minnesota.
