Maybe you can get some other farmers together and start a co-op mill. I saw another farm do something similar, but it was with a farm supply store that closed. The farmers got together and reopened it as a co-op. See if the co-op farmers can buy the feed mill that closed and the machinery in it at a discount, hire someone to run it, and the farmers in the co-op can split the profits, plus perhaps get feed at a discounted rate, below what other farmers who did not want to participate in the co-op would pay. It could be a good winter project.

i use to mix soy bean meal into my feed mix, buy my feed mix by the one ton tote bag, but i cut out the soy some years ago because of cost, it the most costly feed going, at $62 cnd per 50Lbs, were i can buy cracked corn ground barley at $10.50 per 50lb bag, and by the ton its 28% less, i mix in free chose 14 mineral mix as $34 cnd per 50lbs, both my pigs ans steers get the same feed, i tried using corn meal added to the mix but didnt see and added weight gain, i have the mix 1000Lbs of cracked corn and 1000Lbs of ground barley per one ton tote 2000Lbs, i dont know why soyo is so costly been it is all grown here, by buying by the ton i save 28% over baged feed, as your paying all that labor for a guy to stand there bagging it, we it takes then 10 min, to run a ton into a tote. i refus to feed any man made pellet feed, such as hog grower and beef grower as you dont know what put in that crap. keep in mind our Canada dollar is around 32% less the one USD

Feeding green/non-fermented soy produces phyto-estergen and can lower testosterone and raise estrogen levels....soy is a cheap source of protein, but it produces tumors and fatty tumors in animals....not such a problem in animals raised for quick slaughter at a young age........most good dog foods have dropped soy, because dogs live longer than slaughter animals and tumors/cancer was becoming a huge problem for pets.....soy is a big problem for next generation feeders of soy fed meat and eggs and milk and cheese..... We get too much soy in our diets and hence the 10 fold rise in prostate cancer and breast cancer.....all restaurants use vegetable oil ---it is cheap (read the label --- soy bean oil)......burgers, fries, even little Debbie cakes have soy in them....it is in just about all our foods...Just too much soy for our diets.....We use no soy to grow our organic eggs (chicken, duck & quail).....I'm not sure what is compatible with pigs, but we use milo, millet, flax, barley and some rice....We buy pork and beef that has never been fed soy.......We have 6 doctors, and several nurse practitioners who send us their cancer patients who have estrogen driven cancers, prostate and breast primarily because our eggs do not have phyto estrogen... .Larry @ Scoot's Organic

@@connieblasingame7996 This is the best response to this video. I was super excited while watching until he mentioned the high percentages of corn and soy in the feed. It is way cheaper to feed this way, but it doesn't make their diet any better than commercial/grocery pork. I'm sure their pigs live a happier and healthier life otherwise.

So disappointed to hear that you care more about time and profit than the health of your livestock and the health of the people eating your products. Corn and soy are the least healthy food you could possibly feed. Treated with more chemicals than any other crops. Even if crops are genetically modified the chemical fertilizer, herbicide and pesticides used on these crops is mind boggling. And you are worried about fillers the big producers use?!?! Thanks for sharing your recipe, it tells me a lot about your farm.
