What price is propcorn this year round here its hard to get hold of.

Horrible memories of standing over a wobbly old cast iron bath trying to fiddle with the applicator through watering eyes, only to then get a bollocking for the trailer going through the shed roof as the weight lifted from the tyres .

I used the diet feeder to cart the grain and mix the propcorn on at the same time

How many tons will that do?

ive just bought a 20 ton load of propcorned..,I’d take it over normal any day

You never consider bruising it into shed and putting propcorn on at same time. Ready to feed right away.

It doesnt work as well,and you have to put much more on per ton,otherwise it goes mouldy.Its because the surface area of the bruised grain is much bigger.

Good set up,and grain will be higher protein for feeding.

If I've worked it out correctly 142 I'm doing g approx 10 tons an hour putting 70 litres on an hour so about £10 ton at 19%

Are you on "proper" propcorn that cures a hangover or the non corrosive not so smelly stuff?
I'm still on the "proper stuff" but just started my last IBC of it and probably going to have to try the non corrosive stuff next as can't get smelly propcorn locally.

 

[Gedd]

Had half an IBC proper stuff from last year and a new drum of non corrosive
