When I first started working on my food storage, I bought some animal grade wheat and corn. I asked the people at the feed store what the difference was. They told me that it was not as clean as prime grain. When I put it into 5 gallon buckets, I could see that. That was before I figured out about other places that carry prime grade, such as the LDS storehouse. I figured it was better than nothing and that it could be cleaned more if it became essential.So blessedly happy.
I rang a bulk feed mill in a town not too far from me and had a wonderful conversation with him about buying
grains etc from him.
He's emailing me a price list for his products in 20kg bags and bulk 1 ton bulk bags.
Freight is going to cost me $55 for 6 to 25 20kg bags.
If I buy bulk bags I am going to have to organize a backhoe or a forklift to get it off the truck because it doesn't have a crane.
Hiring that sort of machine will really take the shine any cost savings from buying it in bulk and then there's the storage to keep it out of the weather and away from vermin of the 4 legged variety.
He's got hard wheat which is one grade down from prime for $16 for 20 kgs which just incredible.
Hulled oat groats, field and popping corn, mung beans.......
So excited.
