Last year, Farmers Grain & Feed in Allenton was only using 20 percent of its cotton seed capacity. This year, that’s picking up as dairy farmers look for alternative feed ingredients to stretch forage supplies. The feed mill is going on its second year of operation. The state-of-the-art mill has the capacity to store 15-18 loads of cotton seed on -site. General manager Glenn Schellinger says cotton seed has also gotten more affordable because the energy sector hasn’t needed the cottonseed oil like it did the past few years. He gives Mid-West Farm Report the details.
