[QUOTE="Mounty, post: 7544488, member: 674"] Spoke to Grange about 10 days ago. They didn't say they hadn't got any, just said they couldn't do anything for a month as they were so busy with aggregates. Spoke to Tata last week and they had some, was about a week for delivery she said. Is there another quarry nearby or do you mean Tata? Not a massive problem our way as chalk quarries are pretty much only used for Ag. Problem has been how wet they had become over winter and have been an age drying. The latest run of frosts and low temps haven't helped production. Can't disc chalk floors when they keep getting frosts and not enough dry. As a result, stockpiles will be smaller but haulage in huge demand with far easier work than messing around in wet or difficult to find fields. Won't help things. Limestone quarries further north have some but it's a bit ropey at some quarries. Damp stockpiles from the winter and too much aggregate work to bother with the low budget agricultural stuff.
