Does anyone buy in their wheat by the half tonne or tonne?

I've been buying it in 20Kg bags but considering larger amounts now as I'm using quite a bit of it.

I thought it may be easier, maybe even cheaper?

Is it worth just approaching a local farm? My local agricultural supplier doesn't do bulk.

Hi Clansman, if you have someone else who does what you do in your area you can share a bulk load, otherwise if you contact the rep who supplies your local agri store they sometimes knock a bit off if you put in a regular supply. A local farmer near me was giving me cheap bruised grain and also some free in exchange for duck meat

have you asked east coast viners if they deliver to you? they are in stonehaven but deliver to me and im past aberdeen.

who do you feed the wheat to?

shhhh (its for chickens, ducks etc) but I thought the horse forum might be the best place to ask

I can take and store bulk deliveries at work which is nearby and has a forklift etc so one of these tonne bags would be ideal but i'll try the local farmers and see what I can come up with.

def try east coast viners as they are cheaper than my nearest shop, even with a delivery charge. im sure they travel widely.
a farmer is your bet tho we dont have much wheat around here.
