Average Farm Feed
Costs For Handy
Reference
To help farmers across the state
Tom Krall, a dairy farmer in Lebanon County, PA, installed a
hammer mill from Automatic Farm Systems last spring. He feels
it’s been a very wise move financially.
“I had all my feed delivered, other than silage. Now I’ll h jy corn
and barley cheaper, at harvest, and save on hauling and grind
ing. My initial cost, operating cost, and maintenance cost are all
low. 1 expect this machine will pay for itself in a year.”
“It’s a pretty handy machine, it’s all automatic, so it doesn’t cre
ate any extra work. And it’s not dusty like a roller mill because it’s
all enclosed.’’
Give us a call to learn how an AFS hammer mill will work on
your dairy operation.
