Before the legal lifting weight of 20kgs come in a few years ago all my seed came in 40kg bags and the price was around what 20kg bags are now.Imo,either the seed merchants but not so much the growers,have taken advantage of this by selling 20kg bags at 40kg prices. Craig

Brooksy comparing the change in bage sizes in bird seed to cement sounds plausible. :clap:

But that size Family chocolate bar! :wtf: :lol:

...An image comes to mind. :problem: ..Brooksy pushing a wheelbarrow into Woolies then asking for an assistant to help load his chocloate order. :clap: :lol:

wonder what the wholesale price is. You could form a buying co-operative of local breeders, register an abn, and buy wholesale.
