WYALUSING - Rebuilt, revived, and recharged * the new mill is open and ready to roll! Optimism surrounds Wells Mill Co., owned by Lincoln and Clayton Wells, Jr. in Wyalusing, Bradford County. After a devastating fire in May, 1981, the future of the family feed business looked quite dim for Welles. The fire took all of the buildings crucial to the milling process and it left a big question mark about the future of the mill. Lincoln (Line) and Clayton (Cap), twins, are the fourth generation of Welles since 1820 to be in the feed business. After the fire, however, the family tradition was almost history. “We considered going out of the feed business completely because of the high cost of rebuilding. It just didn’t seem economical,” Cap reflected. Before the fire, Welles Mill Co. had been an independent feed company, but in 1982 they joined Ralston Purina as dealers. “Purina was looking for a way to come into the area. They gave us the incentive to rebuild and made it possible for us. It made a good marriage for both,” Line ex plained. The Welles family owns the feed manufacturing plant, and leases it to Purina, which operates it. As a Purina dealer, Welles Mill Co. buys products from the plant. The plant also serves other dealers in the area. Versatility is another asset for Welles. The family is also involved in the petroleum business. Cap is in charge of this part, leaving the feed business to Line. “We feel we can serve the far mer with feed, fuel, chemicals, fertilizers, and more because of our versatility,” Cap said. Serving the fanner is truly the goal of Welles, and with the new mill now in operation, they can accomplish their goal even better than before. The mill can produce 150 tons of coarse complete and meal concentrate feeds in eight hours. The mill is completely automatic with a grinder, ham raermill, corn sheller, grain cleaner, and gram crimper. Welles handles a full line of Purina Chows and Health Products, and does custom grin ding and mixing. “Anyone can-make feed, but we feel the expertise of Ralston Purina is tops. The capabilities and personalities of the people are going to help in our formulations and in what we have to offer,” Line commented. In these tunes of belt-tightening It’s a ‘twin’ mill operation at Welles Co, in Wyalusing for dairy farmers, Line sees op timism. “I believe the key to the dairy situation is good management, and we can help increase milk production and efficiency. I wish every farmer in the area could visit the Purina Research Farm; that would be enough to convince anyone of the quality available to increase their performance,” Line said. To better serve the farmers, Chris Welles, Cap’s son, has been hired as a farm consultant. He makes farm calls to answer questions, take forage samples, and formulate feeding programs with the aid of the new Check- This is the Owatonna Mustang 332 skid steer loader.

Line was a pilot in the Air Force before returning to the feed business. “I love flying and if it weren’t so expensive, it would be my favorite hobby.” he said.
