[QUOTE="York, post: 2035660, member: 1738"] Interesting, either you have a extremely large plasterboard industry of you have only a small number of small power plants One big power plant, using soft coal from open strip mining, has around 1th ton. daily of Gypsum. I'm not writing about prices, loaded, but I only can tell you: no one in farm supply industry is interested in marketing as: - every one can go there and have trucks loaded for the same price = no possibility of margin. I had a contract of "daily a truck" of gypsum = 5 trucks a week. If you are 2 weeks short in a year of clients the profit is gone up the chimney. I was happy that I was able to go out of the contract after 3 month as I didn't want to put Gypsum where it was not needed. One farmer, the reason i looked for the source, started with a 500 t contract and did apply it, I didn't know about it, on fields where we hadn't rec's for Gypsum but lime. He shouldn't have ordered this amount to start with. 5 years down the line he admits that Kinsey is right, this soils are tighter and he needs 30% more hp for the same tillage tools than on other fields.
