All Sorry this is a repost did not know where it belonged but it does bear repeating.. I have a friend who is opening a feed store!! I talked to her last night and if we can get a bunch together to buy a large amount of feed she will work a deal for us. I ask her to quote for a ton which I think she said is 40 bags (?). Please know that this is a local girl who is doing this b/c she believes in fair pricing for good feed. For Chicks she will have Prime which is all I have fed and love it. Mid South changed to a much inferior food so I have been having to buy Purina and Dumor (which I hate) which is much more expensive. I am hoping she will come in around 11-12 but I honestly do not know, but she won't be 15!! So let me have the names and a count of how much you would be buying a month and I will meet with her and get us the best deal available. She of course will have horse and other livestock feed. If you need that let me know also and I will see how I can get that done

Location is a biggie for me. Most of you all are quite a drive from me. If it's not a long drive and I could pick it up around the beginning of the month I would be in. I go thru about 500 lbs of feed a month. I use 200 lbs layer crumbles, 150 lbs chick starter, 50 layer pellets and 100 lbs scratch grains. None of it is under $12 per 50 lb bag. The highest is $16.99. If I could get a better deal and the feed is good with high protein AND I save money And I don't have to travel a long distance, I'm in.

agreed. I need to come up with some barrels because I can get a good deal on feed from a feed store in Corinth, but I have to buy 1000# at a time. If I use barrels, I get a better deal.

I'm between Henderson and Jackson. It's about an 80 mile drive for me, so it probably won't be cost effective for me, but I'm sure it will help plenty of people.

Is there any way I can get a list of people in the club who live from Memphis down? If they have checked out the site they may be interested in lowering feed bills. Tks

How far is she from Jackson.....that's where I get my feed anyway. We go through 400-600 lbs a month but its generally a flock mix (safe for turkey, duck, and chicken). I wouldn't mind the drive if I'm saving more than I'd spend in gas.
