One really has to watch out for what they are purchasing. The past 3 seasons I have patronize 2 local business here in Alton (I have learnt now). The three times the soil looked great, but once down and and seeded or what have ya, it has hardened up little a rock. The percentage of clay was way to high to be acceptable and sand had to be added to it so the compaction wasn't so great and water could penetrate into it. Another words your paying top dollar for clay NOT loam.
