Beth, did you notice that the color of the Nutrena starter is now a much darker color as well?

Yes, I noticed that, too. I hope I have an empty bag somewhere with a label that I can compare. I don\'t like that they changed it so drastically w/no warning...

Its less protein, but you are probably paying the same price...its their way to compensate for price increases in grains, etc.
Like, tuna use to be 6 ozs. in a can, now its 5 or even 4 in some, but price is the same or higher. Have to read labels on everything these days.

Yes, and yogurt used to come in 8oz cups and it now comes in 6oz and some 4oz. Then there are the canned veggies that are the same weight but a greater percentage of that weight is liquid. I hate the deceptive marketing - I\'ve got to buy the stuff, don\'t have a choice, just be up front about what you\'re selling and how much you need to get for it!

Located an Amish start-up feed dealer who sells Prince brand medicated chick starter, 20% protein, for $9.75 per 50 lb bag. Further discount for purchasing a pallet load at a time. Now if I can just get my trailer back from my son in law . . .
