I have a question on fodder seed. I am finding it at a distributor in Dade City but all in all, it is expensive and I really don't know yet if it is cost effective to grow and feed. Do any of you know of local farmers or distributors who sell 50 lb. bags at reasonable prices? I purchased cow peas, barley, oats, and white millet but it will take most of what I purchased to provide fodder for 2 weeks. I have read where others use wild bird seed but don't know about the black sunflower seeds softening enough for the girls to digest them. I purchased 5 lb bags, 10 lb bags, etc. Otherwise, it was $50 to $125 for 50 lb bags and that was the cheaper seeds.

I know Swan's Feed Mill, just outside of Dade City sells 50# bags of oats. Not sure on the price though. Hancock Farms is very expensive in my opinion. I have found seed cheaper on ebay.

I will look into Swan's tomorrow. Hancock was my first choice as they provided untreated seeds.
