    Alternate source for Urea?

    I've been busy this week dying fabric and having a blast doing it. But now I'm almost out of Urea and since I don't plan to do a lot more dying this year, but would like to finish off with a few more pieces I was wondering if there are any alternative sources for Urea other than mail order from ProChem or Dhammra? Their service is great, but I'm feeling a little cheap about spending the $ on the shipping for just a little more Urea. ops: Are there any other businesses that might sell Urea? Maybe I can find a source locally?
    Thanks,
    Cindy

    Do you have farmer connections? We are farmers and my dh took a cleaned but used 2 gallon bucket to the chemical supply place. They filled it for him and said "thanks for doing business with us". And seriously, the amount they gave me was probably floor sweepings to them.

    My dh pays pennies per TON for urea. Even if I did pay for it... whoa... cheap!!!

    A farm chemical supply place. You may have to pay for it. They may not want to deal with a small user. But you can call and ask. Plus no shipping charge! (Urea is a great source of nitrogen/fertilizer for a farmer to apply as it is topical and the ground isn't worked to supply it. We are minimal-till to no-till farmers to save the soil and the help stop erosion.)

      Thanks, I'll check with Agway and the local Farmers Exchange. I don't know of any larger farm suppliers around here, but these are places to start asking.
