    Guess I should say squirrel corn.
    Deer corn is "Against the law."
    Had a small gravity box with around 80 bushel of spring wheat seed that I saved over to plant the following year. I never did plant wheat again. So it sat in the corner off the shed for 6 years. This winter I was going to blend it off a little at a time with some corn. Got to looking at it and found some weevils and a whole lot of pigeon feathers.
    So I dumped it on the end of the field behind the barn for the ''Squirrels''. I think every deer and turkey in the county has had at it. The neighborhood monster buck that no one can hit has been hanging around it. Told the kids as soon as the snow melts down I'll give them $100 if they can find his sheds.

    Can you not build your own sheds? Man, people just want to take, take, take and never want to work for something of their own. Heck if you don't want to build it, they have rent to own places now for sheds.

    Chewy, I thought on those lds. they used to require pipe stakes.
    Just so they won't become overwidth

    I don't know if the law requires them. I don't think so. I've seen them like this before. The shipper had the pipe stakes but wanted $360 for a set of 12 and the broker didn't want to pay for them. The load rode just fine but just a little wide.

    I take a lot of the blame for it. I should have been pushier about how it was loaded and had more straps on the bottom layers. Live and learn and buy more equipment.

    No I meant the shippers required them.. We all learn, trust me.. Like the first ld. of plastic pipe I ever hauled. Darn near lost it because I didn't have strapped right

    Nope this shipper will ship without. I think with more straps and making the loader squeeze them tighter together till the straps are tighter then a nuns whoha and it would have been 102.

    The shipper was saying they ship to garbage dumps sometimes too and they can't have the stakes since they push them off.

    I like that place. They actually carry useful stuff in there instead of row after row of potato chips and cookies that so many "truckstops" carry.
     
    Al. Roper and MJ1657 Thank this.

    It's probably the last thing many need.
