I'm finding it at TSC in cleveland, for about 9 dollars more per bag than
earlier in winter. But as others have said, a lot of chaff in it this year.
I also found about a pallet of it at Rural King in sweetwater for 16 dollars 40
lb.
I have had zero luck with safflower. The siskins are eating the 'patio mix'
type blends, but prefer the black oil.

Same shortage here in McMinnville, but had luck on Friday at the TSC in
Murfreesboro - 40 lb. bags.

Is anyone else experiencing a shortage this year of black oil seed and find it
unavailable in stores? We are discovering this in Coffee County /Tullahoma
area. The Pine Siskins have been in such numbers requiring us to buy seed more
often. We are almost out.
Just curious. Thanks.
