Very surprised at the crimson clover price! I've bought 50 lbs in the last 2 weeks at my local Co-op for $1.85 lb. Same price as it's been for the last few years.
When I called I asked if they had it by the pound or in smaller bags and he gave me the price for a 3lb and 10lb bag....but if buying a 50lb bag I guess you get a better price....makes sense.
No problem! I actually asked what the price was and they quoted me $1.85. First time I bought it I got 30lbs, and next trip to Co-op I got 20 lbs. FYI it was the Franklin Co. store in Winchester.
I bet the 3lb and 10lb bag they gave me a price for were "brand name" with a picture on the bag...I'll see if they have it loose by the pound.
You're probably right. I think I gave two something per pound for crimson at my Co-op last week.
I would also give high marks to the brand new (and huge) Co-op in Columbia, TN.
They renovated the Franklin County store several years back. Major overhaul to the whole facility and added a very nice storefront as well. They've always been very good to work with.
As someone who has spent and still spends a ton of money with coop in Columbia and lewisburg, many farmers including us hate Columbia's coop. With that said as a deer hunter to them and Lewisburg and the general store in chapel hill has a great stock of stuff.
Really? Why do farmers hate the Columbia Co-op (I'm speaking of the big new store)?
The people that know anything are in the back usually have kids working the front, more of a Walmart now then a farm store. The majority of us go to lewisburg instead now even though technically the same (united) they picked up a lot of business.
How interesting.
Follow-up to seed proce conversation above. Picking up seed today but called first this morning to confirm prices and our local Co-op does not offer crimson clover seed by the pound....but they do have a 50lb bag in stock for $99.00...so 1.98 per pound....much better price per pound than the smaller 3lb and 10lb bags.
