It took six weeks last year for me to get a bag of AM Grower 400, and it was $65 before tax (shocked). The Tractor Supply Game Fish Chow here is inexpensive, but seven months old, and I don't want stale food. Only thing I can get locally that's fresh is 32% CC pellets. Sure, I can easily order Optimal, and have obtained several bags (both BG and BG Jr) with no problem, but it's expensive, comparatively to MVP. The 50 lb AM MVP bag I recently bought was $38.
Apparently, I may be the only buyer of MVP in this corner of the state, according to the Co-Op. They transferred that bag from their Mena, AR store, and it took over a week. Maybe I need to order late this fall for next spring, maybe a group buy with some other relatively nearby forum members?
