RE: [RC] Beet Pulp Shortage? - Bob Morris

One must remember, the harvest of beets starts with cold
weather in October. They do not get into full production of
sugar (a by-product of beet pulp) until November, Then they
start to get some pulp for sale. A great amount is shipped
out of country for a much better price. 

So, there is a lag between last years supply and this years
just coming on market supply.

I remember this happening last year also. I would expect
some or it be 
from the droughts in some areas last summer cut the hay
production. Also 
unlike 10 years ago, many commercial mills are formulating
their feed 
with significant percentages of beet pulp. That may also be
playing into 
the shortage. They probably bought theirs in bulk and put a
crimp on the 
supply.

Hi all-
I just noticed a recent post that someone is having
trouble finding
beet pulp.

I'm fortunate that my sister works at the local ranch
supply store.
She called me yesterday and asked if I used a lot of beet
pulp...Of 
course I answered with 'yes'. Well, she said that their
other stores 
(both in Billings, MT) were out and that they (the other
stores) 
requested that they send back to them from the Sheridan,
WY store 20 
bags (10 for each store). She said that they were told
that there was 
a shortage of beet pulp and that they may have trouble
getting more 
in. She then went on to say that they had 14 bags left at
the 
Sheridan, WY store and wondered if I wanted some...I told
all 14 bags.

I was just wondering if anyone else had heard anything
about a 
shortage.

Thanks,
Jan Stevens
