Lehigh rice has gone up from $150 for a truckload in my driveway to $170. I am not pleased as I am a regular customer. Does anyone have any ideas? I guess Matt does not care.

My 18-19 price for 1.2 ton skids of Blaschak went up 30% this year to around $335.00 We'll see who else has seen an Increase. Their reason was a bad winter. It wasn't a good winter but I've had worse with little increase in price.

OK, I get it the product is in short supply but also the trucking went up 25%. I guess diesel fuel went up as well. So much for the summer discount. I used a lot of coal this year (for me) so I need to complain to someone.

Here is the poll for the 2018-2019 season.

As you know Diesel fuel has risen as well as many other mining costs also trucking costs have spiked.Coal is still much cheaper than most other fuels

I just emailed Lehigh and was told $155 for rice/buck this year. 2 years ago I paid $120, last year was $125......don't like it but still a lot cheaper than propain and a lot easier than wood!

I just bought 5 ton of 50# Rice delivered for $1400 "cash price"

I was quoted $235/ton for bulk pickup (loaded by bucket into my dump trailer) for the summer last week. It will likely go up to around $250/ton by fall.

Quality has always been great from the guy I buy it from.

5 ton of Blaschak Pea coal delivered into my bin, $185 per ton. This is $5 more per ton over last year. The Axeman Anderson eats it right out of the bin. This is the easy (lazy) way to burn coal. It doesn't get any easier, until I figure out how to hook up the ash auger!

I'm going to need both bulk & bagged this year.
How many 40# bags are on a pallet?

What's the current price for bagged & bulk rice picked up at Lehigh?

Not sure on small bags but was quoted $195/ton for Super Sacks of Buck and $155 for bulk. This was for less than 20 ton, 20 or more was $10/ton chaper

With the 40# bags I think 60? 1.2 ton.

Lehigh puts 50 bags or 1 ton on a pallet.
