Dan feeds Haylage and Cornlage out of his 2580
HARVESTORP and High Moisture Ground Ear
Corn out of his 2070 HARVESTORE .
Dan previously handled his corn with a portable
grinder mixer, but he was discouraged because of

frustrations of handling corn for our cows are
gone no more time and money for grinding dry
corn and no more rusted equipment from acid
treated corn.”
