Grind With Electricity Is Cheapest Operation Experiments
Experiments at Iowa State College show farmers with 100 to 200 bushels yearly should use a custom mill if hauling is reasonable. Over 400 bushels justifies owning equipment, and home grinding costs drop about one half when over 700 bushels are ground. A small electric grinder costs 25 to 85 percent less to run than large units, especially with automatic or semi automatic use. A smaller transformer reduces core loss and improves load factor and diversification.
