| Over the last 20 years suppliers went by the way side till now therei is a monoply of retailers and they pretty much think they can charge what they want. The private guy we buy seed from got to talking one day about him handleing herbicide since he had contacts already through the seed business. I would be willing to put together a package for him to work with and so it went with a few other farmers in the area. Now several years later he sells several times more than all the other local guys put together. The guys that got started on the ground floor with him pretty much buy at his cost so it has worked out really well. I am amazed at the number of semi loads that come into that place now. I can't blame the retailers in the beginning as their cost of doing business escaleted to the point they were not competive so we not only lost a supplier but also lost lots of services that we no longer have access to. So goes it these days. | |
