I have a full-time job, and I was mixing feed for our 185-steer operation with a feed grinder. That took three hours a week. Now I have three little girls, and it was consuming too much of my time. My wife suggested an automated system.
Our AGTRONIX dealer drew up our system on paper and explained it, then he set everything up and explained how to run it [once it was installed]. We have a CF5 Continuous Flow Unit for the corn bin and a C4 for our distillers grain bin. It’s all automated. It fills up the bin, and the whole system runs at night if it’s empty. It’s peace of mind, and it’s made our lives so much easier. It saves so much labor and time.
