I don't want to bash my local suppliers but same product with local input suppliers is $777.00 and $800.00 net 30 days.
An 'out of the area' supplier ,exact same product $591.00 fob farm cash.Fwiw both local suppliers are much larger volume outlets/chain.
I really like my local suppliers and do support them , but sometimes its just too much difference....And there 'we only make 5% on chemicals' is getting old...
These prices don't really mean much. If your talking $777 vs $591 per gallon (I'm assuming) and the application rate is 1/2 ounce per acre it's not much difference per acre. If your talking about a product that is 2 quarts per acre it's a little different story.
