Nearest feed mill to Knoxville, Tennessee?

[gsim]

Anyone know the location/name of the nearest feed mill to Knoxville, Tn? There is none listed in surrounding counties and the Purina store in the Knoxville industrial park is no longer listed in the phone directory.

I get my feed from the Co-op in Maryville, Greenback, or Loudon. We have a feed store in Alcoa that I think sell Purina. Don't know of anythink in Knoxville.

there is a Co-Op feed mill here in Maryville which my father swears is still in operation but i don't believe him. it looks completely closed to me. i think the Co-Op building on 411 in Greenback is a feed mill, but i'm not completely sure.

Biblio, where is the one in Maryville you think is closed? I could check easily, my neighbor used to be a manager at the Maryville Co-op.
Gsim, I'll also check at the Greenback one and let you know.

it's the one off W Broadway behind the Co-Op fuel center.

Gsim your in-box is full so I couldn't PM you. The feed mill in Blount County of HWY 411S is still in operation. They deliver bulk grain. You would have to call and see if they deliver to your area or if you could pick up a truck load, or however you want to handle it. Their number is 865-982-1240. Bibliophile, thanks for the heads-up.

Hey guys, be careful now. I am a father and (gulp) a grandfather to boot.

My kids will complain to me about something and I will say "Don't you recall that I warned you about that back ........?" They hate it but I love it. They have gotten to where they are not nearly as likely to do that anymore.

My daughter once bought a new sweater when I had told her to buy a water pump for her car as we were doing her timing belt anyway. I showed her that it was very loose and sloppy and ready to fail. Next eve I did the timing belt and asked her where the pump was and she told me about that new sweater (this is in July) I said "OK, just keep it in the car." She asked why and I said "You can wrap it around that pump when it fails and maybe you can make it to some garage."

Wouldn't you just know it, the next day that thing failed 12 miles from home and she just called a tow-truck and took it to some garage. Didn't want to hear about it.

Am going to check the 411 location out . Thanks again.

That's just like a man. Not only are you smarter than you kids, but you have to keep telling them about it. (Just kidding).
