Death comes to us all. Life's but a walking shadow | Byproduct feeds have long been used here in dairy country. Every dairy farm of any size has one or more "commodity sheds" designed to store tractor trailer loads of everything or anything from cotton seed, to citrus pulp, to wheat mids depending on availibility and price. Increasingly the major byproduct was DDGS but that will change rapidly as the South abandons corn and goes back to cotton, etc. Worst case, they feed corn which is the benchmark feed anyhow.
It has always amazed me how far they will haul a load of byproduct. Six, nine hundred, even a thousand miles. Even with such a low density. |
So, where did all the alternative feed supplies go when corn got cheap?
