Subject: Trying this for feed peanut hulls/shells


N FLA
I bought a load of peanut shells it was more than I thought it should have been. 5 cents per pound, but I will work on that in the future. I still have 20 tons of bagged corn I need to get through. I can run shells through my gravity wagon and add bagged corn as it fills the grinder I was thinking 500 pounds corn, 75 lbs peanut hearts, 5 lbs salt, and enough peanut shell to fill a one ton sack. I'm guessing it might be 1000 pound sack I don't know until I try. That would have more than half the energy of corn, and ,5% fat.

I also have bean meal that I could easily add 25
pounds per sack. It is about 21 cents per pound so it's just an economic exercise really in what do I put in the bag and get the return I'm looking for.

This is to feed my cows as well as sell to others feeding cows until grass grows.

I think they hay supply locally is fixing to dry up. I sell a couple thousand rolls per yea at the BTO so I have a pretty good feel for what's available. I don't see any sign of the drought to break soon. The peanut sheller said they are going to start running 24 hours per day so there should be a good supply of these, but I'm not convinced it's a great buy. I have a semi load test to run here.
