Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding Trouble getting Purina Feed

Hey Bob, thanks for joining in. I sure wish it was that simple, but for many of us that's not the answer we receive. I am going to try one more place that's the local farmers grain elevator feed store basically. I know they sell a lot of purina products. If they sell it doesn't that make them a dealer?

I agree 100% with Bob. My Purina dealer orders a week in advance for me and doesn't charge a penny extra. When I first got started he said he could order a skid or a single bag, it made no difference to him, just let him know a week before I needed it. Ofcourse I still can't get AM400 but I believe that is due to Covid.

I did Purina for a few years through the local Co-Op, my contact person was very helpful. When he left the next guy didn't care enough for me to buy 40 bags a year from him. I Switched to Cargill Triton 4512 last year, very pleased. Starting 6 Sweeney feeders up Friday. We feed from April fools day to Halloween...For fry starter I just put some regular size in a blender.

Just to update: My final attempt with a local dealer paid off. I asked for aquamax mvp and he said no problem. I explained what the other local dealers told me about shipping costs and he said that's ridiculous . I told him for starters I would need a bag every two weeks. He went on to tell me he was gonna order extra to stay ahead of my pick up times. He took my number and will be calling when it arrives. zero shipping cost, finally!
