[QUOTE="Fritz3410, post: 721780, member: 12984"] Here is all of our thinking. Central IL is the corn belt. All the ground we have in hay does not make us nearly what corn does, not even close. I know cattle will never make what corn does, so don't jump me for saying that, but we have pasture that would go to waste, besides, cattle are fun. So, with the current system, just putting round bales out and them wasting a fair share of it, means we need more hay ground to support our herd. So, the less ground we need, and the more cheap supplements we can add the better off we are. We do currently move the hay around corn fields in the winter, but that mess does not clean itself up. That requires extra tillage, and extra time, and really a very unbalanced fertilzer program. We have multiple large tractors already. We would not buy a new verticle mixer. I am not saying we will ever be able to justify a verticle mixer, but can't a guy dream? [/QUOTE]
