mineral prices

[jnm]

How much are your mineral prices increasing? I just got new order and found price was 30% higher than last order in March. Is this normal or should I be looking for new supplier?

This time last year dical was about $250 per ton.  Today it is around $1,000.  April 1, unless you had it contracted dical jumped $400/ton.
Vitamin E has quadrupled since Feb.1
Vitamin A and biotin have tripled since the 1st of the year.
Micro minerals have increased substantially in the last year, especially copper.
Any mineral with potassium has increase substantially as well.

Our mineral is now running $920 a ton.  That combined with the cost of fertilizer has me considering down sizing.

My feed dealer warned me about the huge price increase a few months ago (He said it would go up 25%), so I order a years worth ahead of the price increase....which is why I deal with that elevator!!! (Did I mention he is going to store it for FREE???) I think he said he had 7 semi loads of mineral that was bought ahead of time!!!! That and the golf tourney.....THAT is customer service!!!
