Already he sees a big differ ence from the roller mill he had before. "This mill does a much better job of cutting the corn - now we can get it fine enough. We're feeding the same amount of corn, but the cows are utilizing it better. You see less grain in the manure. And I really feel it's helped production." Give us a call to learn how an AFS hammer mill will work on your dairy operation, with low initial cost and low maintenance. aFs fj« automatic farm systems 608 E.
