Everyone should have the chance to experience an original, old time feed mill. The ones that actually grind your feed to order on the premises. None of these, "big box farm and tractor stores" that you see popping up nowadays.

I'm talking wooden floors, pot bellied stoves, overhead silo storage for shelled corn, flat pulley belt driven equipment, antique Fairbanks platform scales, and 2" of white dust on everything.

The last one I know of around here still has a coke machine that dispenses those little 6 or 8 oz. glass bottles, and in the winter the floor is littered with peanut shells, from everyone dropping them in their cokes.

Rural Americana, Hoosier style.


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
