Guest Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 Strange thing is, with the cost of fuel having dropped along with most other commodities.You can only assume that the grain merchants are quite simply at it.Was watching the news the other week which featured an American grain merchant who bought thousands of tons of grain for the bio fuel suppliers which he bought at a premium price at say $8.60 per ton.With the price of oil crashing the demand for bio fuel grain fell to $3.80 a ton the guy was in total disarray.So as i say the merchants are at it,you should vote with your wallet and boycott these over priced grains for a month or two,and just wait to see how rapidly the price comes down.If your demand for these grains continues the price will only keep rising.

jimmy white Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 i think the depurative is the worst rip off of all
Guest G.Drysdale + son Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 i think the depurative is the worst rip off of all How much?My mate got a bag for about £8:60 20kg
REDCHEQHEN Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 i think the depurative is the worst rip off of all Natural Granen is 60% wheat and barley and Beyers depurative is 65% Look at the price of conditioner - if you're lucky - £14 a bag and that consists of 30% wheat (£3.50 for 25kg) and 45% Dari (£7.50 for 20kg) I had a busy Sunday filling the corn bins making up depurative, young bird mix, and 'diet special'
joe61 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 corn is as corn is guys, prices are sky high and will remain that way, what about when most of you guys go down the club? you never moan about chucking beer down your neck at £2.50 or whatever it is a shot do you ? tell you what stop drinking so much and pissing it down the toilet 20 minutes later and save your money for corn, then we wont get moaning, good thread this one..... oh happy days ;D
gooner Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 where i get my corn versa laga best all round is 9.75 a bag, i use pjf best all round and thats 9.25 a25kg bag
OLDYELLOW Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 Natural Granen is 60% wheat and barley and Beyers depurative is 65% Look at the price of conditioner - if you're lucky - £14 a bag and that consists of 30% wheat (£3.50 for 25kg) and 45% Dari (£7.50 for 20kg) I had a busy Sunday filling the corn bins making up depurative, young bird mix, and 'diet special' you taking tips from the tight 'Yorkie' lol ;D ;D :D if most mixed there own corn the corn companys would loose sales and drive the demand down and they be stuck with corn they cant shift driving the price down so its a win , win situation
