DuMOR Premium 5 Grain Scratch
does this germinate at a good rate to make fodder?

I don't know, but I would think it would be a very expensive way of creating fodder.

i'm not in a place heavy with bulk grains or farm supply other than 1 TSC that's almost 30min away. $15 for #30 will last me a while if it germinates

Worth a try then.

What are the ingredients?
It's probably mostly Milo (Sorghum). It probably also has Millet.
Both will sprout fine.
Here's a patch of cheap scratch I planted, alongside a patch of Black Oil Sunflower seeds.

corn, wheat, milo, barley and sunflower. i'm seeing reviews that state crack not whole corn so there might be a lot of waste

Whole grains should sprout...cracked grains will not.

i'm going to ask my dad, in fla w/lots of farms around him, to ck his local feed stores to see if they have bulk grains so he can get me a mixed bag for my new fluff nuggets

Even using a big bag of birdseed/black oil sunflower from Home Depot/Lowes/the hardware store should technically work..... Still more expensive than a grain silo/feed store price, but probably cheaper than scratch.
