High Demand Items

This past year has been challenging to say the least! Many products that we have always taken for granted have been in short supply due to high demand and other factors. The MMPA Farm Supply Store is experiencing the same difficulty. It is becoming very difficult to maintain an adequate supply of several of our most common items. The item that has proven to be the most challenging are disposable gloves. Our vendors have been limited on the quantities they can order from the manufacturer, which of course, limits the quantities they can provide to us. The shortage appears to be from a combination of high demand and importing issues. This has affected both our latex and nitrile gloves. Because we may not know which style of glove will be in short supply, we might need to substitute another variety of glove to complete an order. We will of course attempt to contact you prior to the substitution to prevent any possible issues. Another product in high demand and short supply is our Dial Liquid Hand Soap refill. This product has been out of stock from our usual vendor and from any other vendor we have tried. We have been required to substitute other varieties of hand soap to fill orders. We currently have replaced Dial with Softsoap Brand hand soap and Ecolab “Clean and Smooth” liquid hand soap. Because these products are slightly less expensive, the price for this product will be adjusted accordingly.

STOCK NUMBER DESCRIPTION

6301 HAND SOAP 1-GALLON REFILL

PRICE $13.47

We hope that these shortages will be short lived, and we can get back to normal soon and we appreciate your patience as we work through these unusual circumstances. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at the MMPA Farm Supply Store.
