Actually they do; farm raised salmon eat corn and corn by product based foods. They shouldn't eat corn...but there you have it.

Chickens eat corn, don't they? Lambs probably do too, so the price of my Lamb & Rice food has already gone up and probably will continue to... but my grain free food should be ok - I've never heard of salmon eating corn - LOL. Kim - Kimberlite -------- ...I called my poultry Guy in San Leandro CA. to order my usual 200 lbs of chicken backs.....they used to be 20 bucks for a 40 lb case...been going to this supplier for about 8 years now.....he told me a case of backs has now gone to 32 bucks per 40 lb case!.........that's .80 cents per pound! for chicken backs!...if anyone in Northern CA. has a place that beats .80 per pound please call me........ouch.
