Serious question, has anyone else seen a big drop in sand quality from the local supplier?

We used to get our molding sand from Valley Supply for years and it was solid. Over the last two months, the green strength has tanked. I'm seeing way more surface defects and we had a whole batch of cores collapse last Thursday. The foreman says they changed their source pit. Anyone else dealing with this or know a good supplier in the Toledo area?

Sounds like a bad batch, but maybe they'll fix it. Could just be a temporary thing lol.

My third batch had the same problem.
