CORN IS CORN??
I used to think that corn was corn, and that’s that,
‘faint so. There’s five different grades, I was told,
ranging from 8.4 per cent protein to 9.1 per cent
protein, and 73.9 per cent t d.n. to 81.9 per cent t d.n.
Not only that, but most feed ingredients can vary, or
come in different forms or values. For instance there is
five ways to buy brewer’s grains, twelve different kinds
of distillers products, eight kinds of fish meals, seven
kinds of linseed meals, seven kinds of molasses, five
kinds of oats, seven kinds of soy bean meals, seven
kinds of tankage, and twenty-four different kinds of
wheat products, I was told. And too, I was told, there is
400 plus, other ingredients to choose from. Things like
velvet beans, whale meat, starfish meal, skimmilk,
pigeon-grass seed, olive pulp, began head chops
(huh?), and ammomated furfural residue. Whew!
Seems to me a farmer better get to know his feed
company, what, with so many pit-falls and op
portunities around, who knows what we’re getting or
missing out on?
Kinda makes a body wonder, don’t it?
