This is why you are saying it's robbery. $18 a ton hauled. You can't get it hauled where I am for less than $40. So 55 to 75 spread isn't bad.

Which Co-Op is that? I know I'm probably going to be near you and I need a few tons spread.

No that’s a cotton gin coop. The farmers coop is in Athens

Just FYI 257 they charged us $31 per ton for the lime. They brought fertilizer on the spreader truck, spread it, then spread the lime. Charged us $650 for the hauling and spreading. I thought it was a bargain.

David Hamilton at the Co Op in Selma was very good to work with also.

I don't get it. They brought and spread my 12 tons on 3 patches Monday. I met them at the Co op and the driver left in the spreader truck with 7 tons. He followed me 13 miles west on Hwy 80. In 15 minutes that was spread. He went back for the other 5 tons and returned in about 35 minutes. another 15 minutes and he was done. We left Co op about 8:10 and by 9:30 he was thru at my place. Final charge was $942 and change. I'm not complaining but I sure don't understand their pricing system. Only used the spreader truck at my place, probably 3 pieces of equipment at yours and delivered yours 3 times as far as mine. I think from here on out I can just use pelletized and spread with tractor spreader myself.

Wo. Pelletized would be higher though. $4 per 40# bag, 1200 bucks roughly. $258 difference
Makes ya think for sure.


It be's that way sometimes.

12 tons spread for $942 is $78.50/ton. Pelletized at $4/bag x50 bags is $200/ton. 12 tons is $2400, that's $121.50 more per ton and $1458.50 more for 12 tons. That's using Ramer math so there could be a difference according to whatever system you're using. I wouldn't complain much for a relatively small quantity @ $78.50/ton

Yeah, my math was off a lil. Rent the buggy and do it yourself.

As I said I am not complaining. Just seems strange that they would deliver 3x farther, take 3 pieces of equipment versus one and have at minimum 3-5x times as much time invested for the same amount of money basically. I have excellent roads, and not more than 1/2 mile off highway. RobertD patches can be miles off highway and some of the roads can be terrible. I know because I hunted that property for 15 years. Just doesn't seem like good business practices but what do I know. I know the math on the lime, I'm just venting a little.

Well our bill was around $1250 for 25 tons of lime spread (not sure, they don't trust me to handle any money) and we bought 4 tons of fertilizer for almost $2k (spread). Total bill should have been in the zip code of $3500. We got twice as much spread as you did. We spent about 2.5x as much total so maybe that explains why some of it was cheaper. It's the 4th time we've used them. I'm also a very nice guy to deal with. That CAN'T have hurt. lol
