[QUOTE="Bez>, post: 398415, member: 6007"] Alan If you do not mind me poking in here, I would advise against grain screenings from a mill - you never truly know what you are getting - sometimes it is excellent and sometimes it is crap. If you have anyone nearby who does grains, you might simply ask them what they would charge you for some. Remember, there is no trucking and no cleaning and so on - so the price can be - and likely is reduced. I use corn screenings from the neighbours plant. When he dries, there are always undersized or broken kernels that are sorted out. I get that stuff for free, but that is another story. He sometimes sells excess to others for about 55 bucks a ton. It is clean, dry and ready to use. They have to come and get it - and cash is king. After all, this stuff is not for sale to companies for human consumption - it does not meet grade. So if it does not go for feed, it ends up in the dump. I guess what I am saying is check out all your pricing options - especially the local big grain and oil seed guys - there is a good chance thay have their own plants and you might just strike gold. Good luck, Bez> [/QUOTE]
