Pallet of corn $$$

[creekbottom02]

Iv always bought just bags of corn. This year I think I’m gonna buy a pallet and make sure they are stored properly...

Question is how many bags come on a pallet and how much is everyone paying. Is there any cost savings?

FYI. In only have 4 feeders I’m having to fill this year. And it will be split 2 ways

Buccees will range from low$5’s to high $5’s

Local store just ended their corn sale. $5.50 per bag. Regardless of how many you buy.

Weevils will turn em to dust if they sit too long.

well dosent seem like a lot of savings I might just continue buying what I need, when I need it.. plus im not sure if I can store them all in a safe place

Depends on the place, Kothmann's in Menard is 50 bags per pallet. No discount unless you buy it by the ton from their silo.

Generally a pallet of corn is one ton, so it will be 40-50lb bags or 50-40lb bags. I have bought a pallet of corn (40 lb bags) several times from the Brookshire's distribution center in Lufkin for around $275. Didn't buy any this year because I caught the little WalMart in Nacogdoches trying to get rid of I guess some of last years corn for $3/40lb bag. Bought 60 bags and so far it looks good- no weevils, no dust, and so far only a small amount of mold in a couple of bags.

Pallet 2,000 lbs

A pallet of feed is normally 2,000 lbs, 40 fifty lb bags or 50 forty lb bags. I've been paying $5.75 a 50 lb bag at Fehner & son in Gonzales.

Unless you can put out a pallet all at the same time, I would just do that. Get what I need when I need it. Won’t take long before the weevils be all in it. Where I get mine, I get a discount by paying with cash and another one for buying it by the pallet. It takes 2 pallets to fill all of mine!!!

Oasis Outback in Uvalde packs 50/50’s on their pallets.
I had them pull 10 off a pallet earlier this month and they still gave me the .50c a bag discount.

If you have 4 55gal feeders @ 7 bags a feeder a pallet leaves you 12bags for hand corn. If you’re worried about weevils you’d be slinging dust from your feeders for the bags to be infested.
