I just got back from Mill Hill Farm Supply in Williamsburg . Their prices are a lot cheaper than Tyrone Millings. Tyrone Milling wants $14 for a 100lb's of shelled corn - Mill Hill is only charging 11.25/100lb. If you're buying in bulk its well worth the drive down there. I bought 1 ton and saved $5...

Did anyone else hear that the Tyrone Community Players are planning a spring production called:

I agree. We need to stop sh...

I think they're running a special this week.
