Chester, or Chet Rickard; the owner of this farm is a sneaky cheat. I purchased 110 bags of 50 pound feed for the last 4 monthly deliveries. The bags always came up short. The first batch, he’d mixed them up into bags ranging from 40 pound to 60 pound bags. He explained he’d divided up 100 pound bags because he ran out of 50 pound bags. Isn’t that odd he’d divide them up so unevenly? I had a hunch he deliberately did this to confuse me. But he underestimated my math skills; when I questioned I had at least 13 bags that were short by 5 to 10 pounds whereas only 5 bags between 55 to 60 pounds to make up for the deficit. He became very frustrated and hung up. He knew I had trouble finding someone to deliver feed, so he took full advantage. The other purchases all came up short, though he was a little more subtle by making all the bags consistently short of 3-4 pounds, which still adds up to 120 pounds of feed at my cost. His farm is very poorly maintained by himself and one other even older man. The refrigerator where he keeps the eggs are disgusting. He also reuses old dirty feed bags till there are holes which he ties with a rope. And the tops are unraveling and the plastic shreds end up in my animal’s stomach. And do not trust rave reviews left my Dena R on some of the sites for Clearfield farm. Dena R is Dena Rickard sharing the same last name and mailing address of the owner, Chester Rickard.
