    Price of Paradise

    Walked into the feed store this morning, bout fell over when they told me the total was $22.55 for a #50 sack of whole corn !!

    The shipping company raised their rate 15 % a few days ago. didn't take long !

          Thinking you meant two bags. At least, that's exactly what I paid for two bags coupla days ago.

            I think I'd be mighty stingy with the corn if I was paying that much

            Can you set a timer to run for 1 second?

                When you live on an island in the middle of the ocean, beggars can't be choosers.

                    I have my feeders set to spin for 2 sec, one time a day right now. If y'all will time your feeders, you'll find out that usually a 2 sec burst equals about 5sec of total run time from start up to off so you are getting a bit more nuggets on the ground than you think.

                      Might be time to grow a little corn on the island.

                        Tried that already, We have no natural nitrogen, the mainland corn seed comes up bout knee high, tassels then dies.

                        But then again $22.50 for 3 weeks of fun is better than 2 hours at a bar somewhere....besides my hogs are better looking, compared to...Never mind LOL

                        My timers ar set for 2 times at 3 seconds, but the plate gap is small so less goes out but makes a lot of noise.

                          I don't like paying the higher prices for corn either, but, 35 years ago I paid $4.95 a bag. So paying around $10 or so seems cheap. No, not Hawaii, North Texas.

                              If you ain't already done it, try hanging a pie pan or a piece of tin right by the spinner. More "bang" for the buck!
