Prices are $4.00 per bushel for corn and $9.25 per bushel for soybeans. These prices are relatively optimistic compared to 2016 fall delivery bids, which are near $3.70 per bushel for corn and $8.70 per bushel for soybeans. Note that very low prices are not needed to induce the need to cut costs.
The blood uric acid test measures the amount of uric acid in a blood sample. Uric acid is produced from the natural breakdown of your body's cells and from the foods you eat. Most of the uric acid is filtered out by the kidneys and passes out of the body in urine.
Often, the first test used to diagnose anemia is a complete blood count (CBC). The CBC measures many parts of your blood. The test checks your hemoglobin and hematocrit (hee-MAT-oh-crit) levels. Hemoglobin is the iron-rich protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to the body. Hematocrit is a measure of how much space red blood cells take up in your blood. A low level of hemoglobin or hematocrit is a sign of anemia.
