The winter before last we were paying 10 euros per 25 k. sack for pig food. Hope it never gets that high again.

Well don't say I didn't warn you !

Posted about looming price increases across the board on 20 August in Coffee Lounge.

We have found that our Trade Bulk prices have rocketed this month - so retail will be even higher.
