Home Farm Feed Processing Gains From Electric Mills
Home processing of feed has grown as electricity enables small hammer mills and mixers for automatic operation. One horsepower mills grind 100 pounds at 1 to 3 cents, while larger 3 to 7 horsepower units handle corn or roughage, using 1/10 to 3 kilowatt hours per 100 pounds. Ground feed moves via gravity chutes or a blown line to bins or mixers, with overload protections and automatic shutoffs for efficiency and safety.
