Re: Official Weight question
Yes, the weighoff is run by Ray , and I dont think all tarpw would weigh the same,
because of the different materialsused. The tarp Ibought last season is made of a
very strongplastic material which is sold by the Danny and Howard Dill. There are
also ones sold by Ray at P and P seed Co. that I see are red and canvas in nature. I
am sure the difference is minimal, the only real requirement that I have read on
this is that they must be hole free, and not heavily worn.
