Raise your price until your customers quit buying from you.I usually buy 20 bags of 10 10 10 every year for the garden and hay.This year Ive bought 1 bag at 13.60.another dealer is looking for 18.60, got a price of 12.80 today.Since the fertilizer is bagged in a plant about 20 miles from here it looks like a bit of greed is entering into the price.The dealer the furthest away from the plant has the lower price.A study a few years ago showed it was costing 1.00 a bale to put hay in the barn.A farmer I talked with said he could do it for less with paid for equipment.When the cost of twine went up 3 cents a bale custom balers went to a triple charge for baling.I bought my own baler.I use fertilizer for side dressing sweet corn so buy later in the season and get a lower price.Again raise your price until customers quit buying from you.I can put a cord of sawed wood in my shed for 2 gallons of gas.If my fuel cost goes from 4.00 to 8.00 a cord of wood should not increase by a 100.00.
