[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1758735, member: 6291"] I would like to get some insight on trying to purchase milo from farmers strait off the farm. We are probably looking at around 12 tons. There are a several farmers in the area that I was wanting to ask but I would like to kind of understand their situation a little better so we can find a deal that is beneficial to both of us. Price is a good starter. Im not sure how to see what farmers are being paid out of the field. Also, I would be interested in knowing what it would take to be beneficial for a farmer to want to sell direct both from a price and volume stand point. Next would be the odds of farmers keeping milo on hand through out the year. I assume most will be selling it at some point in not immediately. I would guess being about to pick up a ton a month or some thing of that nature would probably not be an option? Lastly, how clean would milo be in this situation? It doesn't need to be perfect but big stalk or leaves would not work. Any insight is greatly appreciated so I am not going in totally blind. If this is not a good option I guess my next step would be a mill or some where of that nature who may be keeping it year round, fairly clean, and ready for feed? TIA [/QUOTE]
