Pot Ale ........Harbro quoted me £83/ton for 15 tons delivered Perth today.

I thought that was expensive?

Phoned my usual feed company today... they will do a 5t minimal load - coming from god knows where (company I thought stored it local, where I could collect, don't anymore and only sell 10t loads minimum).

£164/t :(


Edit: will still take it at that though... I need such a little amount it will add pennies per tonne to the feed I'm mixing up

What can you do? I'm paying for wanting a smaller load. 10t would last over 2 years here! Plus I can't store that much... and I can not take an artic.

Might try Harbro, see what they say.

IBC's are plentiful around £20/£30. You could buy ten, they would hold over a ton a piece and allow you to buy bulk and still be quids in. Will no local feed mills sell you an IBC full collected. What about NWF? They have a mixing plant up your way don't they?

Nobody local stores liquids, as far as I'm aware - so I can't go and collect.

It'l depend how it's delivered how much we take/what we do... wether it's an artic or not - rigid access only up here.
