Yeah there are plenty of guys you can find to truck it to you. doesn't take long to pay for older gravity boxes to put the fertilizer on wheels and shuffle it around compared to overpaying for it. The 2-3 percent dividend you get at the end of the year doesn't even come close to how you can save money.

Go ahead and flame the coop, but just remember the process it takes
-they have the trucking
- unload from truck into bin
- let the product sit in the bin
- pull the product out of the bin with end-loader to put it in blender
- going through the blender and getting weighed for your exact needs
- conveyor back into a tender truck
- tender truck and driver to get it out to your field.
