Farm Progress
If you repaired buildings around the farm a year ago and then again this year, you probably don’t need a chart of local lumber prices in June 2020 vs. June 2021 to know they were higher this year. However, you might be surprised by how much higher.
For example, an 11/32-inch-thick, 4-by-8-foot sheet of laminated barn siding cost just over $26 in June 2020 at a big-box store. The same 4-by-8-foot sheet from the same store in 2021 cost just over $35 per sheet.
