I'm not familiar with your area. Try the "where to find" posts in the forum link below. There is a place in Bowie called Nature's Way that might be able to help you. 940-872-4796

I can't say much about dry because it
is hard to put out, but liguid is a breeze
and it is cheap. You can buy the stuff
from farm store for $1.00 / gal. At this
rate you can rent a sprayer and save
money galore.

Here's a handy link for U.S. feed store/mill listings: http://www.polocenter.com/health/feedus.htm
It focuses on horse feed sources, but I imagine it picks up most livestock feed outlets. I notice that it doesn't seem to list all of the Co-Ops, but it's a good start. Here are some Farmland Co-Op listings that may add to or duplicate some of that information: http://www.farmland.com/news/set.asp#anchor24430
The current bulk wholesale price for liquid livestock feed-grade molasses appears to be around $0.05/lb. in carload lots basis FOB Houston, so $1/gal isn't a bad price--assuming it isn't watered down. A person might be able to get a better local price in barrel quantities. |

My feed store is in Whitesboro Tx and they sell the liquid molasses for $1.00 / gal no matter the seize. I doubt you will find it cheaper unless you buy a carload - little bit hard to handle.
This stuff is called catt-lac, it is food grade.
Feed stores carry this.

| If it is a concern, I think catt-lac has urea in it. Does anyone know where one could get strait molasses, prefer Black stap. |

| We use molasses as a booster for our Nitrogen Fixing Micro-Organisims that are in Micro Grow and to feed the micro-organisims once they are in the ground. Plus it also helps to green up the grass. |
