Just been to the local chippy, he’s paying £13 a bag for Sagitta from IOE.

Wow, I told my local
Cattle man I wanted £20pt this season rather than the £10pt he’s been for the last 10 years. And we deliver!

That was the price I was quoted from my usual dealer obviously I didn’t have any at that price. Can normally get them for £35 delivered

Very approximately £15 per ton. He’s not taking on any new customers he said last year. Long bag with stuck bottom. If it makes a difference.
