hunter nutrition out of indiana sells buckets of molasses for $15, plus shipping. has anyone found a similar source locally?

I can buy a 50 lb bag of dry molasses for approx. $11.00 at my local farm feed supply store here in central Alabama.

Happy Gardening!

bes-tex in san angelo has 30 lbs bags of dry molasses but I don't know the cost off the top of my head. 60 pounds and shipping might be around $70. 30 pounders arent on their web site but call and they might be able to help you.

The farm and ranch co-op in New Braunfels sells bulk molasses for about a dollar per gallon if you bring in your own container. A gallon weighs 15 pounds so if you were thinking of having it shipped, keep that in mind.

I just bought some from my local co-op yesterday. They say theirs weighs 11 pounds per gallon. Wonder what the difference is. I bought 50# for nine dollars. I have bought elsewhere and used the dry from Tractor supply but this is by far the cheapest. Will see how I like it when I use it.

I coughed up $20 for 50# @ Russell Feed in NW Ft. Worth for dry molassess.

If you purchase the molasses in a feed store, I assume that is not organic, so does that matter? Also what are the ingredients in the molasses, what does it contain. I am referring to the liquid and the dry.

Dry molasses is a great and powerful biostimulant, no matter if it is truly USDA certified organic or not.

It is usually composed of blackstrap molasses or beet molasses, sprayed and dried on various forms of old grain roughage (i.e. rice, wheat, oats, soybean, etc.).

If you insist on an organic pedigree for your garden amendments, you'll be looking for a long time.

50 pounds of dry molasses is made by pouring 15 pounds of wet molasses (worth about a dollar) onto 35 pounds of agricultural waste (otherwise they would pay someone to haul it away).
