Deinabo Briggs
Hello,
Pls how do I get in touch with any suppliers for the feed raw materials? I am trying to get materials for my mill on my farm and I am trying to get options, in terms of sources. This is just to be able to optimise efficiency after considering factors like location, pricing etc.
Pls if you have any connects I can use, be kind to help me with them.
Thank you.
