Something a little similar, I was at Tractor Supply recently for a couple of gallons or so of 41% glyphosate. $9.99 a quart or $49.99 a gallon.

Back at TSC today. Gallon jugs are now ‘on sale’ for $39.95. And I forgot to use my ag sales tax exemption card,,, again. $6.40 gone. Nearby ag chemical dealer only has 55 gal. drums or 300 gallon totes and he said those are scarce.

Rural king in union city TN had 41% intimidator brand glysophate for $109 for a 2.5 gallon jug. I bought it a year or 2 ago for $35

My brother said he could get 2x8 at 8 feet for about the same price as 2x4 at 8 feet. Unusual world.

It takes a lot to produce that extra 00.0000 board feet.

Why do they call it 2x4 when it's 1.5" X 3.5"?
My old house the 2x4s measure 2" X 4".

Hi Fuddy, we could start a new thread on this subject, "weights and measures", nominal vs. actual....the varying coffee can, etc.....

Inflation! Everything costs more but is packaged smaller. LOL!
