Description

Operational Details
Mobile feed mills are similar to the mobile seed cleaning machines that are normally operated by local farmers. They also assist others in the farm community who have the need for feed. Usually it would be green feed and used to feed cattle. Just as with mobile seed cleaning, the volumes, out of necessity would have to be low, as the machine is not capable of handling large volume processing. It also is not as sophisticated and cannot be expected to produce the different kinds and blends of animal feed. It has been recognized as a voluntary industry on the basis it has been traditionally a farm related activity undertaken by those in the farm community.

The processing of flax and straw usually means the purchase, chopping of the product, and delivery to the customer.
