| We don't sell much ear corn, maybe 10-12 ton per year, but when we do, we have to pay the shelling if we sell to the mill. If I'm selling to a customer for storage at the mill we decide between us who's paying the shelling costs.
Our mill won't accept any ear corn that needs to be dried for storage, so ours normally sits in the cribs until it's dry enough.
As for the cobs, that table seems to have turned a bit. Quite often now, when we show up at the mill to get feed ground, the Mgr. will be salivating to find out if we'll be shelling or just grinding? That normally means he's about to run out of cobs, and has a good sized order for bedding / litter and needs some cobs to grind. For our little mill, cobs aren't near the liability they used to be, somewhat more of an asset. Their bagged cob litter sales have really taken off.
