farming bargains / deals

Would it be a good idea to have a thread where we could post good value or deals in farming products that are available to the general public? I got two geared fencing reels in homeland for €25 each today that i saw in the paper, thought it was great value. Lots of deals we all miss so a little heads up here could do us all a favour!

Great idea for a thread

It might be a good idea only issue is you might have salemen registering and putting up there ware as bargains.

The lack of posts is the giveaway in that situation

Funnily enough when I was looking for it I came across this link and this reel looks the exact same as the one I got from homeland. Some price difference.

Bought 20l of Roundup in Glanbia Ashford for €120, that seems like good value to me, though I haven't bought the stuff in ages. Did I get a bargain or is that the going rate? There was one left yesterday

Never heard of it. Active ingredient is glyphosate I presume? How much would it go for. Also, the father has always gone for the brand name of things, like a lot of us

We got one called Ardee, think it was 80 euro for 20 litres, does the job just as good as round up imo

The name jumped out as being the same as the town in louth. I never heard of it as a weedkiller.

Only problem is the packaging. Way too much wrapping on everything. Takes ages to open.
