Jim Koenigs – Pinicon Farm, IA

Our feed mill has been in operation ten months. It is the first of its kind. [We] had spent over two years studying this opportunity. We visited facilities throughout the Midwest, talked to mill owners and general contractors. In the end, we chose an entirely new concept. We believed it would have significant economic and operational advantages. Less expensive to build and run, better uniformity of blend, and improved performance for our animals. We concluded the combined potential benefits justified the risks. … After ten months of use and tens of thousands of tons of feed made, our feed factory is exceeding expectations.
