Reality kicks in

[T_T]

Went to my local corn supplier today for my winter supply of Beans and Barley.  Barley quoted at £7:50 a 25k bag and Beans at £10 for 25k.  He then told me that to buy the Beans in, one supplier quoted him £14 for a 25k bag  Talk about jumping on the Band Wagon, I was thinking about throwing myself under it.  Dosn't look as though there's any going back either.  Don't know if there much cheaper up North.

Can't get tic beens either.

I like- personally a tic one day, a wheat and barley mix next, and groats, with a little rice next. Always a little linseed before each feed. Have to substitute Maples for Tic beans. Yes and one day a week, the fourth day a Canary and small seed mix.

Trouble is if not careful they just want the wheat and barley mix. So awkward if Hopper feeding of course.
