The article argues few feed stores stock all high quality ingredients for a true mixed feed at reasonable prices. It notes competition drives down quality, while farmers often buy cheaper options.

Nitrogen is the key fertilizing element in feeds and varies most among feeds. Connecticut Experiment Station finds average mixed fertilizer at 2.95 percent nitrogen while eighteen of fifty two feeds reach 3.95 percent.
