For seed and fertilizer I usually take bids, and tell them I am taking bids. Ill go see the suppliers, tell them what and how much I am looking for, that I will call in a week or so to see what the verdict is. Then I go door to door and see if anyone can do any better. Then I go with the best deal. Sometimes thats not the closest deal, I'll pay a little more to go with an independent and I'll pay a little more to get something closer or some extra services. Caps, coats, and other promotions all cost money. Usually after I get the best deal overall what they throw in I count as bonus. Most places usually give me a hat and calander just for asking for quotes. Im up right now 3 hats and a calander for this year.
What I've seen on my prebuys. Corn for RR triple stack 195 net for a pallet. Wheat I got early and right for 8 a bag for 5 pallets. Alfalfa, Im starting to shop next week. The fall seed was running around 185 for a 50 pound bag. Looking for 3 pallets of grazing type with a good PRR package. Fertilizer, I usually get quoted after Dec 20. Lime is at 15.00 a ton spread, up from 14.00 with the fuel surcharge.
