grand size feed / seed companies needed everywhere !.......

I just thought of something today to jot down onto paper I have experienced today ......

We NEED to have available to ALL farmers who farm / plant / harvest field crops.......grand size feed / seed companies who will sale seed directly to individuals, transport interior cloth grand size pods / bags !!!

This morning Co - op the local agriculture store informed to us that they don't sell grand size seed amounts to individual farmers ! Oh, what a mess / stress this is ! Headache ! Very annoying, costly to local Co - op members, needing easy access to purchase farming seed locally ! Oh no !

Individual farmers MUST have seed readily available locally, to quickly sew into the fields, seasonally, I know we need the seed in mass quantity, and often we have to transport / haul the seed in short trailers, pull behind pickups, BUT it would be wonderful to have grand size seed / livestock feed companies close by all rural farming areas, just there ! Ready to help you scatter seeds, transport the grand size seeds in the bulk size pods / cloth or plastic bags !!! This would be very helpful !

I think of the transporting of grains to grainary bins for storage at the Co - ops to sell our harvest / bounty for money, Why don't they also allow for purchase to start over regrow new crop with seed sold locally ??? I know seasonal difference can cause issues, but those individuals selling their seed for planting new crops often grow / sell massive amounts !!!????

Why not build grand size seed / feed companies locally for all rural farmers to easily find, transport the seeds for crops ??? In those grand sized tubs / pods / cloth or plastic bags ???! I know there are plenty locally who would agree ! Closer to drive, less fuel cost, less transport / driving stress ! You worry over losing the trailer as driving with the seed, spillage onto highways, have to drive slow also !!! Yikes, close by would be MUCH better !

Cleaned seed is a MUST HAVE, when the seed is cleaned there is less trash interior the seed, less fibrous material unneeded, such as sticks, rocks, dried fibers that congest the planting equipment ! I know about this ! Clean the equipment spouts yearly !!! 

Variety of seed for farmers to plant in the fields !!! Several inquire, vegetable seeds, grains, fiber ! 

-- Cotton
-- rye
-- millet
-- peanuts
-- sorghum
-- oats
-- wheat
-- all vegetables
-- barley
-- corn

Plenty more we can plant !

I love agriculture, country life, farming / cowboy life ! Peaceful.

I know there are several big name company brands for seed / feed around everywhere ! These MUST be properly controlled, operated, evaluated by people of ONLY goodness ! I have heard plenty terrible stories ! Yikes !

I know that OSU extension, has some seed crops for the college, and others as well......Monsanto is a seed company I have heard of before, expensive !!! this one is huge conglomerate / company !!!  Others the same ........

We need to have individual seed / feed companies that are fair in prices, clean, no hybrid seeds I hear these are no good ! Farmers gotta be watchful of the seed and all agricultural items needed !

Having the grand size amounts of seed / feed there readily available, easily accessible to local farmers everywhere in rural areas where needed would help all farmers greatly !!! Easily drive / transport, and / or scatter seeds easily for you at cost is much better for us all, less stress on farmers with much work ! For price, I'm sure it can be quite expensive when paying for seed to be brought + scattered onto your land ! Pay for transport / driving, then they can scatter seed onto fields, BUT you must drill the scattered seed into the fields yourself with your equipment.     ;)

Just a thought right now.
