Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Pond Boss Ready for the blizzard out east?

I don't know if this still holds true but when I was growing up on the farm, truckers dead heading it back from down south with flat bed trailers would buy a load of gates on their way back north and then sell them to individual farmers or local coops. I remember my dad buying lots of gates from truckers that just showed up in our barnyard on a summer day. Truckers with grain or box trailers often picked up loads of melons to sell instead of dead heading. My sis and I had a vegetable stand by the highway and it was not unusual for me to be able to buy several hundred melons well below local wholesale.
