[QUOTE="whitewing, post: 1120002, member: 14975"] Okay TB, now I think we're on the same page. I'm making progress on the roasting part of the equation with some of the very helpful links provided by other posters in this thread. Since there's a lot of coffee roasting going on right here locally, I've talked to one fellow who says he can scale up a system to roast several sacks of soybeans at a time. I was originally thinking of a fixed unit but I might just mount the entire thing on a trailer so I can have it here when I need it, and not when I don't. Lots of work left to do on that front though. On the issue of horse feeds, I'd like your opinion of a decent roughage or two that would work with my ground soymeal. My horse 'expert' spoke about the negative effects of corn....acid gut in particular....and for that reason said to stay away from it (on a side note, many horse owners here feed corn to their beasts). Now, because of farming practices here, I've got the option yearly to grind sizeable quantities of dry, clean, corn cobs. Once I run 'em through my machine, the final product looks just like oatmeal. I suspect there's virtually zero nutritional value in the product but what I don't know is if it would somehow upset a horse's stomach. I use ground corncobs as a part of the roughage for my cattle feeds and it's a great filler. My other option would be to buy round bales of local pasture that's used to feed horses and grind that material as a roughage for my feed mix. The problem with the latter is that it costs a lot more than the former, the former often offered to me free-of-charge. Also, I think with the ground pasture, I'd have more of a dust issue with the final product. What say you, oh wise one? :cboy: [/QUOTE]
