They were cheaper, the galvanizing is poor on most of them. We need to use the rest of them. A sorting/corral area. I LIKE climbable fence when the cattle play rough!

Farm Bureau, and a family owned feed store or two. Got a Tractor Supply, but like Sam said, Weekend Warrior store. I rarely see any real farmer's in there.

All we have is orchlins they suck We do have an independent farm store that's really good... Kinda fond of Orschelns... Nearest is 90 miles away, but I get in there time to time. When I used to work around Kansas City I went there a bunch. Locally the closest is Blaines Farm and Fleet. Used to be great.25 miles away we got a BigR and they're mostly like F&F with better sporting goods. Within 60 miles we got Farm King and Rural King. Love to have either one closer...

In Davenport, Dewitt, and Anamosa Iowa they got Theisen's. Don't get in there as much as some but i like the stores. Almost reminds me of what F&F used to be

The outside of Bomgaars sure looks nice and clean. Our Tractor Supply has a pretty good inventory but they don't know what a broom was made for.

Atwood’s and Orschelns, plus Tractor Supply for chain stuff.
Have a local mom and pop operation with 3 stores, Race Brothers, they’re my favorite.

My favorite is still the co-op.

Tractor Supply and Blains Farm and Fleet. BFF went up right across the highway from TS and is killing them. Almost exclusively weekend warrior types around here.

Tractor supply, Cal Ranch, Bomgaars and IFA, in reverse order of preference. The first three have become way laid into yuppie 3 acre ranchlet supply stores. We don't have any of the weekend warrior type hobby farm stores around here. Iguess the hardware store carries some 'ag' stuff. Buy little stuff like electric fence chargers from them. We get all of our vaccine, back pour, salt, mineral, stock tanks, bulk feed, etc., from a local co-op elevator. Young guy is the manager and he is really good. Get back close to $5k(?) in dividends. He even helps us find things they don't sell. Hauled up a load of 60 continuous fence panels for us from a wholesaler. Just priced out a pallet of steel T-posts on Friday. We use to have a coop about 20 miles from me. Some young guy bought them out and never paid his bills so it was foreclosed.Now the closest Coop is 75miles away. A good implement / tractor dealer is about 60 miles. Since I retired and don't need big volumes or heavy use stuff, I guess I have become one of those weekend warriors too. Big R or Tractor Supply is 12 miles away.
