Their Flakes Are More Nutritional
Jim and Lloyd Burkdoll of Lane describe switching to a steam flaker in 1967 to boost feed efficiency. They note steam flaking adds moisture and expands grain, enabling all wheat rations and improved cattle gains. The mill, built largely by the family, cut grain use by about 25 percent and time by 3 percent, with ongoing tests of protein content and adjusted rations.
