He Mills Corn With Garbage Disposal

He Mills Corn With Garbage Disposal LIVESTOCK Feeding Equipment Jed Van Der Zwaag needed a way to make a small amount of chicken feed from shelled corn and a garbage disposal was his solution “It cracks kernels down to about 1/8-in in size ” says Van Der Zwaag “I had been looking for a small corn grinder and this will do about half a 5-gal bucket of corn at a time If I do more than that it overheats and kicks out ” Half a bucket of corn is just right for his small flock of 10 layers and 11 broilers This way the feed is always fresh Van Der Zwaag salvaged other components for the mini-mill Steel rods from two lawn mower grass catching bags were welded together for a stand The hopper for the shelled corn was made from a piece of used chimney roof flashing tin “It was easy to do with stuff I had laying around and it works great ” says Van Der Zwaag Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Jed Van Der Zwaag 4091 Larch Ave Hospers Iowa 51238 ph 712 441-2664; zwaag1@gmail com
