the cob itself get rolled by the mill to, but it turns to dust. The combines filter out the rest. As a side note all our company does roll and pack hmc corn, and pack corn and wheat silage.
That place is a feed yard, right now they have 70,000-80,000 cattle. It has 1 corn pit and 3 corn silage pits. We do have dairies here, but they only have around 1,800cattle.
That is a lot of hour's per week but you have to work when it start's and finish when it end's i know that myself when we harvest grass and corn over here. will check it out on googel earth. speak to you again look after yourself when you'r using those great big machines.
Thank you so much for the reply very kind and very interesting this part of the world maize crimpling or cracking is small scale compared to that with you real eyeopener. need any help next year.
No, we employ 20 people during harvest. were mainly a big group of friends. I personnally know the owner of the company and his son, so thats how I got involved. That and I make one big check for 7 days of work. Sometimes 130 hours per week. If you have google earth type Caprock Feeders, Dalhart Texas in the search box and you will see the feed yard where we roll corn. As far as I know it's the biggest feed yard In the texas panhandle.
It's used for cow feed. It's cheaper for the feed yard to pack hmc than it is to build grain bins and build a roller mill. On a good year, weather permitting we can fill the high moisture pit in 13 days, averaging 180,000-200,000 bushels a day. this year it took 21 days because of rain and some people planted late. I don't know about the acres but in bushels we pack 1.5-2.5 million. silage this year totalled 97,000ton for this yard. about 45,000 per pit, in 2and a half pits.
No, non of it is corn the feed yard grew. It's bought from farmers in the surounding area. the video of me pushing the corn is one of 2 places where we roll corn at. In that pit we just finished packing 1.6 million bushels of corn. the biggest contract from a farmer was 100,000 bushels.
Do you put down plastic or tarps on the pit floor or not
caseman1134 2 years ago
