How an Organic Feed Mill Works...One Farmers Dream From the Field to the Feed Bag

What happens here

Scott demonstrates the grinding process using a hammermill. The hammermill is used to break down larger feed ingredients, like grains and peas, into smaller, more digestible particles. He shows how to change the screen inside the hammermill, which determines the fineness of the grind. A finer screen produces a more powdery feed, while a coarser screen results in a more textured feed, catering to different animal needs (e.g., chick feed vs. layer feed).

Goal: Demonstrate the feed grinding process

Tools and materials

  • Hammermill Screen — Controlling the particle size of the ground feed
