Is there not a corn store or agricultural merchant near you?
because over the internet, there'd be a high delivery cost.
Millbry Hill sell online, and if you look at the brand names, and google you should get some direct sellers.

I don't know about pig feed, but I get high protein ewe mix in 500kg tote bags from my local grain merchant for £121. £10 extra for delivery, but I find it easier to collect. They will load the big bag (same size as a tonne bag of sand) onto my trailer & I lift it off at home. It's a bit cheaper & I find it more convenient than picking up lots of small bags (and less manual handling!).
Try your local agricultural / grain merchant.

Try BOCM (agents details can be found on their website). I buy their Farmgate sow and weaner nuts (GM free), a tonne delivered for £243.00, and even cheaper if you have silo rather than having to take bags. Not sure if prices vary around the country due to delivery. They deliver from Bath to me, but lots of local farms use them.
