[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 637346, member: 1682"] Good plan. Be careful though. Hammer mills are a dangerous thing. Corn stalks are too much, in my view, for them. If you overload the mill and one of the hammers breaks off, it may be the last thing you, or anybody within 100 feet, do. Even simple 2nd crop alfalfa can put a burden on them. Having said that. We mixed 30% Oats, 10% Barley, 20% Corn and 40% 2nd crop alfalfa (square bale wafers) together, through our hammer mill one year. Really makes a nice mix. Although, in hindsight, I would only have put the corn through a roller mill next time. as it gets too powdery through a hammer mill. :cowboy: [/QUOTE]
