Custom Feed Grinding in Northwestern Illinois: Preliminary Report

  • Smith, Edward J.

Abstract

In June 1960, 212 farmers and 45 operators of custom feed grinding and mixing services in 21 counties of northwestern Illinois--random sample--were interviewed. Information from the interviews forms the main basis for a forthcoming economic study of alternative methods of grinding and mixing feed. Northwestern Illinois was chosen because it is an important livestock and dairy area in which a variety of methods are used in grinding and mixing feed. A number of the custom operators expressed interest in how their own operations compared with those of others in the area. In response to this interest, this brief preliminary report was prepared to describe some of the equipment used by these 45 firms, the feed grinding and mixing services performed, and the charges made for these services. The report may also be of interest to farmers.
