Miller & Bushong, Inc., of
Bohrerstown, manufacturers
of Early Bird feeds announc
ed to Lancaster Farming,
early this week, plans for
construction of additional
feed milling and mixing fa
cilities at their Bohrerstown
headquarters.
Chester Graybill, president
of the firm, reported that the
new facilities will be housed
in a compact, 97-feet high
"push button mill”, which
will be the area’s most mod

The operation will include
large gravity flow bins for
whole grains, concentrates
and other ingredients, with

pelleting equipment to the
bulk loading area and pack

Old Harrisburg Pike.
W. Scott Bushong joined
the firm in 1898. In 1919,
Graybill joined Bushong, fol
lowing Miller’s retirement.
The firm’s mill was des
troyed by fire in 1941, after
which the present mill was
constructed.
