Just been quoted between £347 and £466  ton, have gone with the £347 from East Coast Viners, this gives me a mixed ton with weaner, grower and finisher. Got to say the service is excellent I used them last year too with good results.
What is everyone else paying just now?

Hi Anne. This week I paid £8.65 for a 25kg bag of sow pellets and I'm paying £200 per ton for some good quality wheat.
I feed my poultry with the wheat but I intend feeding the pigs on some of it milled.

If Google is correct and the convertion is 907kg to the ton, that would make the price cheaper by the bag than in bulk?

 

[Womble]

By ton, don't we actually mean metric tonnes, i.e. 1000 kg though?

[Daisys Mum]

Yes metric tonne  1000kg

[Greenerlife]

Even so - at £8.65 it's still 346 a ton.  is £8.65 a cheap price?  Blimey - just looked up my local supplier - £10.30!!!!

Incidentally the £466 a tonne was Carrs Billington, the merchant did say I would probably get a discount for buying a tonne but never got back to me

I buy mine 3 tonnes at a time, blown into a hopper, and it works out at £250 per tonne from BOCM. Worth thinking whether a couple of smallholders could share a load to save costs.
