Hey there Bobbett, I got a price of $0.065/lb (corn (gluten) in bulk from
Eminence KY Southern States. They said that the price/lb was good even if
just a scoop full; so I can transport in small pickup. This makes for a
really cheap source of N as long as you aren't going to seed into it for the
season. Sidedress and/or transplant anytime. Thank you again for your help.

Anyone on our listserve have an opinion using corn gluten (organic or
otherwise).

Thanks,

Our local Mennonite feed store in Casey County carries it for <$10 for a
100# bag.
Also, in Northern KY my friend found it at her local Southern States for
that type of pricing too. Worked out to < $.16/# if I remember
correctly, but it's been a few yrs and she's since passed away.

hth,
