Feeding the mill

Not all my ideas are successful...

Or perhaps it is that I do not make my ideas successful as there is a neighbor who is actually making money selling feed. Same concept as mine but with more success.

My nephews said that, "at least I keep trying." 

I got an order for Chicken feed at 18 percent protein. I priced it before I found out how much I needed to pay for peas. I may have misjudged my pricing.

I set up my pellet mill with a feed conveyer that I got from the scrapper and then added a hydraulic speed control so I can slow down. The idea is to feed the mill as to just cover the rollers. This increases production.

It worked.

And I sold out of Chicken feed. Or at least in theory. I haven't been paid and the feed hasn't all been picked up but I am a firm believer in probably...
