GA feed Mill issues

[Livinzoo]

I'm in GA and most feed mills don't sell to the public. I found one that does but they require you to purchase 6000lbs of feed. Any other ideas on how to get cheaper feed than Tractor supply? I'm paying about $15 for a 50lb bag of crumbles and most of it is dust that they won't eat. I don't see any pellets there.

Ask Mr./Miss Tractor Supply Associate if they have pellets tucked away in some obscure corner they never let the public see, or ask if they can get them? It may be a case of them not selling well in your area so they were removed from the inventory for that store?
Someone mentioned a while back in another thread that they purchased the floor sweepings from a grain mill and fed that since it was mostly grains that got were spilled on the floor, perhaps one of the mills near you would strike a deal with you for the floor sweepings????
I just got a 50# bag of chick starter for $12.15 yesterday but that is here in Tx.

Do you have any other feed stores near you? I live in Perry which has a small feed store where I buy FRM Layer pellets. I had good luck with these. The last a bought was $10.20 for 50lb. I like it alot better than that at Tractor Supply. FRM(Flint River Mills) is made in Bainbridge, GA.

Sure wish you could get up to the Co-op here. Layer is about $10 for 50 lb. I dont know if they have crumble or just pellets in layer feed since I only buy pellets.

Cyn-
I plan on visiting you in July and will definitely stock up at your co-op. Thanks for the reminder. Just have to get these guys by for a few more weeks on Tractor supply stuff.

you can always add water to the "dust" and make like a dough for the chickens , they love it. And feed prices are high due to the higher world demand for corn and other crops.

$18.50 for 50 lbs of layer here.
