>st expensive feeding program is not always the
profitable. And, the cheapest often costs more
an it's worth. The best program gets the most
possible mileage out of the feeds you grow at
home, and results in the lowest possible off
farm expense. Seasons change, nutritional needs
change, and we’ll help you meet these needs with
soundly planned feed programs. They’ll take some
of the guesswork out of stretching your forages
,nd grains. We offer this service free, because it
lelps both of us.
