I stuck this here since its food of a sort. I got a call from my co-op buddy at the area feed store today. The end of February they are closing the mill. I'm not sure how much farmers were using but I used @1000 pounds a year. You can still buy pre-bagged feed but to me that's just one more little eye opener.

Terrible news. Co-op's used to be the center of the farming community. What's the next closet feed supply? Would it be any better for you to trailer in a load or two from another co-op or some other feed store, maybe further away?

We can still get feed from other stores (a couple pre-bag stores and Tractor Supply) Getting the feed isn't the big issue, it was him thinking the predicted pricing and overhead was why they were stopping mill operation.

Thats bad news. Prebagged feed is usually much more expensive....
