A nickname for a Harvestore in my neighborhood was blue coffin. The only reason the word coffin was used was they were expensive. The farmer who put one up needed deep pockets to have one built. They did put out good quality feed though. I know of two farmers in my neck of the woods who filled Harvestores with wet shelled corn for hog feed. Every day or maybe twice a day they would run corn from the Harvestor through a roller mill then mixed in other ingredients to make the proper ration for the hogs. The feed had to be mixed every day without fail because feed kept longer would mold because of the moisture content. My father in law used a Harvestore this way.

One neighbor filled his Harvestore with shelled corn using a blower that blew air into the pipe going to the top and the shelled corn was introduced to the air stream after the blower. I dont know of any hog farmers using a Harvestore anymore because using dry ground feed is much more economical and much less labor intensive. There are other factors also.
