Now lol... my beef with Nutrena reps - I have moved to an area with no Orchelns or SS. All I've seen here is Senior without beet pulp. I've contacted reps for my area, and they say there is not 2 types and it all has beet pulp... um, yes there are 2 types and no one does not have it. Same with the Nutrena page on Facebook when I mentioned it. All I wanted was to find the closest place to me that sold the one with bp.
Why they would tell a person such a thing when there are 2 types is beyond me.. they even look and smell different with the bp or without. One with states clearly on the bag it contains bp and flax. Doesn't say much about their reps, which makes me wonder about higher up in corporate.
I will say they have a good product, my old guy did great on their Senior, my youngers great on the life design prime, which brings me BACK to their ignorant reps lol... I fed 12% Prime. I move here and can only find 10% and 14%. I ask rep to bring in 12%.. he argues with me they don't make a 12% Prime. I had to show the store clerk a bag (i'd brought 100lbs with me in the move) to verify I'm not out of my mind and for them to tell the rep over the phone that yes, you DO make a 12%.
I do like their products, but my God dealing with their reps has taken a big toll on me

Edited to say they do now sell my 12% Prime here at TSC lol
