Hi BJ,
I'm interested in Plainsman M340. My local clay supplier won't sell
Plainsman unless I order a ton of it. I tried contacting Plainsman, but
they haven't gotten back to me. I can't find a mail order company that
sells it. I would really like to try it. How do you like it? Do you
think you might be able to help me get a small sample of it? I tried
sending this directly to you but I got a "user unknown" mail delivery
return.
