    Looking for a ton of carrots in the South West Michigan area. I used to be able to buy them on the East side but haven't had any luck over here.

    Use them for deer feed also our horses will do about anything for them. Paid 80$ for a ton last year. looking for sugar beets too. Don't seem to grow them over here.

    Mike, There is a huge produce auction 3 days a week at Wakarusa Ind. They sell some of the poorer quality vegtables and fruit really cheap at times. Only a few miles south of Michigan. For $80 you could get a ton of hay. My horses like that. The deer can eat out somewhere else.
