I raised fat hogs in the 70's. I had a homemade trailer that would hold exactly 2600 pounds of ground hog feed. I would leave the empty trailer in the mill parking lot right beside my house and come home from work that evening to find it lipping full of feed. Usually at least two loads each week. A load of feed back then cost around $150. That feed mill is closed now and torn down. After it closed, I drove about 20 miles one way to Pinckneyville, Illinois to get ground feed. Eventually they stopped their mill work at Pinckneyville and I think the building is now torn down there also. Next closest mill was in Nashville, Illinois, but they seemed to be a little testy about dealing with us little guys, so I didn't waste any time with them. Same story with a location in Anna/Jonesboro, Illinois. First impressions were not good, so I didn't fool with them either. Now I get what little feed I need delivered all the way from Biehle, Missouri. They are good friendly people who appreciate their customers.
The local mill beside our house would work around the clock in harvest time. The line of trucks and tractors/wagons waiting to unload would stretch for four blocks at times. Everyone asked how we could stand all of the noise, but we would sleep right through it. It was good noise.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
