Not shocked since NY went Muslim, we will see how that works out for them vs the evil orange man. I think last bag of peat i bought was 8 bucks, lol.

Sigh....

It was $8 forever, then a few years ago went to $11, now $23 here. But Rat's right, there are no tariffs on it. I imagine some companies jacked the price due to tariff uncertainty though. And higher freight costs are certainly a contributing factor. My couple minutes of research on peat moss also showed that last year was a poor harvest year for it so like as with any other commodity, that would also factor in.

[quote=atrapper]Rat Masterson, tariffs or not, I would expect any products exported from Canada to use any and all reasons to raise prices simply out of spite for what we’ve done to them.

Yote, yes I would agree. His site, his rules. If you don’t like it, don’t comment. It’s just amusing to me that now that the “shoe is on the other foot” politically, some refuse to acknowledge that the exact topics they were bashing our last administration for (food, gas, commodities, interest rates, peat moss prices) are as bad or worse now. Maybe we need a third party?[/qu

So because a company jacks up their prices that's Trumps fault? Under the previous administration food went up 25 to 50% inflation 22%, interest rates are pretty flat, gas was good until the war, when it ends it will be again. You just don't like the Donald and that's it.

You’re entitled to your opinion and me, mine. I feel like both leaders have failed us. I refuse to make excuses for either one.

Actually I didn’t realize peat moss was commercially harvested in MN until recently. Maybe we can harvest more domestically and bring the cost down?

Canadian prices.....someone is getting hosed cost 13$ and change =10 USD

Haha….yep.

Remember that a Premier peat moss truck driver blew through a stop sign and killed all the hockey players in Humboldt Saskatchewan

What I said were facts not an opinion, what you said was, well whatever.

There is plenty of peat moss in the US, we don't need to import.

I wonder if Canada allows the US to export peat. They about have a heart attack if we try to bring night crawlers across in "dirt". I don't think peat is allowable either. I believe it has to be inert bedding like paper mulch

This is what it is in my neck of the woods

You mean NYCity?

I thought there was some bagged in Oregon?

LOL This thread is toast!

atrapper, if we could get a viable conservative 3rd party that would be well worth looking into. Unfortunately I don't see that happening.

I know and most on here do as well that we vote for the candidate that is the lesser of two evils. I don't trust any of them and that's too bad.

I agree, Badger. And yes It really is too bad.

Well, at least all of us here on Trapperman are perfect

Using Savell's numbers it would cost $.58 a day for a 21 day run. Don't know if I could afford that. How much is Canadian wax? Maybe waxed dirt is cheaper.
