In Reply to: Lose of Feed Mills posted by Banditfarmer on November 02, 2014 at 07:18:07:
Feed milling is a declining business any way you look at it. The dairy sector has largely shifted it's needs from a prepared ration to a need for concentrate pellets or mineral mixes... and an on farm TMR is mixed to include their own grains or at least commodity purchased grain. Likewise with feedlots. Large poultry and hog operations generally manufacture their own feed. Then factor in that a modern mill is an 8-10 million proposition.... it's all about tonnage. Trucking is cheaper than the capital to build a modern mill so feed manufacturing is centralized and trucked out from there. That's the way it's been here for 40 years. The only thing that's changing here is that the fit will survive and the rest will go broke.
