The number of families operating a traditional family farm are few and far between. Production agriculture has changed more in the last 50 years then in any time in the history of mankind. Very few young people are going to return to a traditional family farm setting. The feed industry is also changing. With the number of farms drastically being reduced, local mills have closed or have been bought by large corporations.
Volume is the survival battle cry.
Large farms build their own mills or feed production is laid out on a short-term basis. These trends make selling feed a bag at a time very challenging. Show feeds require the highest level of care in manufacturing. You must have only the top quality ingredients for these feeds. You must identify the latest trends in genetics to match them with the exact nutritional needs.
