The journey into the abyss of no return

Heck I’d be there for that price - but I just don’t do snow. Grew up in snow, below zero and tornadoes . We had to bring in power here. Water was here but had been shut down for at least 10 yrs. had to pony up for meter and fees. Gotcha coming and going

With 40 ducklings and the 11 layers I already have, come August time frame I will be getting around 3 to 4 dozen eggs a day. Thinking of investing in a freeze dryer.

If you go on the sister site SS, there is a freeze dryer thread... several have one....

Looking at that place I would get myself in trouble with all the threads I could relate to. Would end up crashing the party too!

Stacking them like stacking ….. I regress, anywho I wonder if I can collect a social security check from my backhoe it’s so old.
Four tons, room for four more if I get crazy.

Weldman... I am going to have to ask a question... Are you sure they are 1 ton? All the "super bags... which we call totes here. run around 1,000 lbs... not 2,000.... We have gotten things like dried distillers grains (DDG) and soybean meal, and other stuff.. and it is always in the 900-1100 lb range depending on the denseness of the commodity in the bag... Not saying it isn't alot of feed since it is... but if you are buying it as a ton, you sure need to be getting a ton... I'd run by the scales and check the truck empty and loaded...

Only reason I made it and am thriving, intelligence, experience and drive. One would be lucky to get common sense from people in this day in age.

And you don't suffer fools, much.

I have and they are definitely a ton there per a bag some went over a hundred pounds or so and maybe 40 lbs less on another bag. Not a run of the mill place selling this either as I watch it go on the scale, pretty big operation too. Believe me I can definitely tell when there is a ton on the back of the truck versus two tons. They sell it by the pound of 10 cents a pound and pay for it as such. Weigh it, then they write the weight on it with a certain number.
