Good luck with that. Dunno about your area but I can buy them cheaper from the agri merchants round here.

Wish I had storage, I'd buy it at that price - I'm paying £8.75 a bag - mainly because I can collect it locally as I need it, can't lug it about and the chap puts it in my car, then I have a wheelbarrow to take it from the car to the food bin.

Thanks, C.M.C. but I usually only buy a bag at a time, that wouldn't be much use to you if you have a ton of it.  I could maybe take two bags and keep in my garage but I'm not convinced it's mouse or rat proof although the dogs are in there too.  Don't have transport just now either due to my car being under water on Linn Mill bridge on Friday, so can't get out for cash either.

Dropped in at Migdale Country Stores today for pig feed. Also picked up some layer pellets while I was there. £7.80 for 20kg.

Nice place, btw. Recommended to anyone in the area.

Crikey, we are apying £8.89 a bag way down here in the south, although I did manage to get a ton of wheat from a local farmer which spreads the cost a bit

I know I keep banging on about it BUT
I bought 10 bags from East of Scotland Farmers in Coupar Angus last week for £60.90 - that has gone up from £50.40 last time I bought.
(A friend and I share the load.) Don't know how much it is for a single bag though.
