I'm honestly not 100% sure. I do bug suppliers about it all the time though so I'll definitely make sure people know when I do. I also have a newsletter you can sign for on my website which I keep pretty up to date with everything and I'd recommend staying tuned that way as well. I'd be able to get in whole leaf 09 sooner but if you've ever seen a bale (or minibale) of whole leaf and have tried to break it up the way we do pellet.. and then offer flat rate $5 to ship..aw man what a PITA
So as soon as they get pelletized and I can get them I will definitely let everybody know.
Just a behind the scenes; my main suppliers are logging their bales of hay in their systems now and will be pelletizing what they can asap. Not all varieties will be ready in pellet at the same time, and suppliers also typically get rid of their oldest crop first, so even when they have 09 available they need to get through their 08 to ship it. I'm hoping for sooner but expecting everything to be ready by jan 1st (I'm sure some will be earlier than that). I have ONE supplier with 09 ready I believe but with their pricing.. you guys wouldn't pay what I'd have to charge you for it
Thanks for the segway
