Mont Eagle Products Feed Mill Tour. Stocking up on Livestock Feed. 

That was interesting seeing how the feed is mixed and bagged. Thanks for sharing Even.

I’m a big fan of how things are made , thanks for bringing us along , also 👍 to the crew at the Mill , good job

Great video! So nice to see small town, local businesses doing things the way they have always been done. Nice to support these little mills and keep local people working.

Now I really like that bag Stitcher. That's the first time I have ever seen a bag Stitcher operated by hand.

JudithB We took 8-9 bales of our hay to the feed mill to have it ground, and they added grains and molasses to the mix, bagged it and we put it in 55 gal drums for our Jersey milk cow. Summer time made the molasses ferment and the feed smelled sooo good, and milk production went up too!! All the beef cows would try to get into the milking room too!!!

That was a tremendous video (as usual) but that mill was most interesting. Plant Maintenance, now it all make sense. Going to really miss these Evan when you are off playing with your repair tools. God Bless Mate

Evan, You're amazing how you can keep a grin on yer face, even when spending exorbitant amounts of money....

I"m 66 since high school I've always been interested in how things are made in factories this was so enlightening and informative. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing visit to feed mill.😊

This is so cool you live about an hour from me and saint Marie is like 20 minutes from where I live we actually go that place all the time

A lot of cow feed has molasses in it, love the smell of it.

Great job Evan and Rebecca, thanks for sharing with us. You all stay safe and keep up the fun times during your 50 straight days of 12 hour days. Keep up the good work and videos as you can during your full schedule. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋

Very Nice! Thanks for taking us along. Have A Day! ;~)

Nice tour good to see the mill working

Brings back the memories. I think we used ear corn, cob and all, we may have even had to take ours down to the elevator to grind and mix, may have used our oats to. They ground it and mixed it with molasses and maybe a few minerals. Milk cow always got it dry but often for the pigs if we separated the cream from the milk we'd mix the skim milk with the feed making a thin porridge for the pigs. Man it was crazy, they would absolutely go insane, I knew where they got their name.

love the smell of our local mill in canton ny they have the best layer mash ive found

Thanks for sharing the "how its made" experience! I used to love getting sweet feed for our horses back in the day. Made the whole barn smell wonderful. Thanks for the memory and keep on posting :)

She was right and it is on video, the whole video was great, thanks.

Thanks love the video .

Gosh! Looking back and remembering your video of unloading the feed compared to having the new tractor with front loader forks! What a huge difference to your busy lives. 😉

Thanks Evan. Custom mixing can be important depending on your soils and uses. Thanks for taking us along.

Evan i also worked maintenance before i retired we worked lot of OT sometimes round the clock for 3 or 4 days makes a good check but it takes a toll on you the company always took care of us with plenty of food and lot of breaks.

Years ago I helped on a large hog farm, they mixed some of the feed with onions I always loved that smell.

I wouldn’t think you would want to arm wrestle the feed mill workers for money. You would go broke Good work men have a nice day

75K subscribers! Growing like crazy.

Really enjoyed the video. Very interesting watching the feed get mixed and bagged. Thanks for taking us along on the tour.

Women are always right! Lol I'm a new subscriber so I really enjoyed seeing the animals and the feed mill. Thanks for sharing.

Fresh feed. Probably better for the critters. God bless you on your long work schedule, Evan.

Thanks for bringing us along so we could see the mill. I used to live just down the street to one when I was growing up in Ohio. I've never seen that process. Thanks again for making another great video. 👍

I've been by that feed mill many times. I only live about 30 minutes south of it.

What some good hard working people at Mont Eagle Products Feed Mill .

I haul hog feed around southern Minnesota, but on a much larger scale. I typically do 4 to 5 loads a day coming to 100 to 120 tons delivered. Some of the big hog barns are pretty impressive. And I also deliver to smaller independent farms. I'm still amazed at how fast pigs grow from the nursery to the finishing barn then out to slaughter. Something like 17 weeks and they're shipped. Kinda crazy!

"This is the goat feed.....for the goats." Thanks for clearing that up! lol

Good morning! Cool to see old feed mills like that. Reminded me of the one in my home town. Hey, unless we missed a shot of a step in the loading... it appeared that the pallet was nearly flush against the tailgate when you closed it, but it was a foot or more forward when you unloaded it. It it moved like that, you’d probably want to tie it down to the back tiedowns next time. Another hard stop and it could tear up your cover or bend the front of the bed. Hope the maintenance frenzy at your plant goes well.

I’ve noticed that some homesteaders wet the feed for the pigs before feeding it to them. The reason they give is that it is easier for the pigs to digest it.😊

Look for a gravity wagon at the auctions. Tarp top, Wallah, bulk feed delivery. Save$ over bags.

Good luck on the shut down work and thanks for the tour

great tour of the mill. That's awesome they will give you free delivery. My wife patty writes on the calendar when I'm wrong.. I've had 1 since January..👍👍💚💙💛📅

Another great video looks a good feed mill

You are going to have to get a real farm truck one of these days. A one ton should do it. Feed has molasses in it, gives it a sweet smell.

Very interesting. Thank you for this video,

i like ducks, never owned one. visited some on a trip to N.O, LA, at a big park. one of those took to me instantly☺ Now i want some

Working through lunch makes the fresh feed smell better. You've got the 'farmer scale' skill already, whoa look at those springs compress when that feed went on.

Keep supporting your small town family owned feed mills! I never but feed from a chain store like tractor supply unless I have to

Very interesting tour!! Those are some big ole country boys loading that feed, I wouldn't mess with them!!!

Try throwing a handful of feed on the ground to give you time to dump the feed bucket in the pan.

I remember helping my grandfather who ran his own Feed Mill. His operation wasn't as big as this but he took care of the local area until he retired. He was located 10 miles west of Golconda Illinois. I now live in Georgia.

Cool tour! Thanks for that.

I enjoyed the tour

You are like me, after i retired I went to work part time for Home Depot. I have always loved going to hardware stores. I worked at HD for eight years and still to this day love going to a hardware store and spend hours just looking.

Even, if you could wish my better half a happy birthday on your next video I would greatly appreciate it.. Her name is Joyce Easters.. 8/27 is her birthday but she never misses your show. Thanks Russ Thanks guys

Wow great information, thank you for sharing

Thanks for showing us this, it is not often you actually get to see this kind of operation, 1 time in my life at a local mill for me only getting cow feed

I really enjoy your videos

I just found your channel your not to far from us in Graysville Indiana . You got a really nice farm ! I hope you have a great day !

Good evening from Grand Forks

Keep putting it in....there ya go, thanks for the guidance, good you were here.

Nice video. Another great job.

Evan, as always a pleasure to watch. Don’t forget the flowers for your wife! Good luck with your work marathon! Look forward to your next video.

The new tractor is a good thing. That's a lot a weigh you guys didn't have to drag about.

I stumbled apon this video and then look at where it was its the place where me and my daughter get feed from for our show pigs They make awsome food and they are family owned definitely go check them out and it not just pigs feed they have all kinds of feed for different animals Their prices are really cheap a well

More memories. I used to go to the feed mill in Grammer, IN with my Dad. It was always an adventure. I got to go into the basement once when the mill wouldn't start and Clancey, the operator, had to reset a breaker. I was amazed the whole place didn't blow up because there was grain dust piled up on every surface. I was in my teens by that time and knew that wasn't a good situation. The elevator is still in operation, though I doubt they grind much feed these days. They buy grain and ship out to buyers wherever. I don't know about the new trucks, but our 1965 Chevy half ton had way more than 1600 pounds in it more times than I can count. Several times a year Dad would haul 10 to 12 hogs to market and they would be 200lbs+ each. The two heaviest loads that truck ever saw were 3500 lbs of soybeans and 4500 lbs of wheat. Fortunately it was only 10 miles to the Grammer for the grain and the roads were pretty much empty so we could take our time. I don't know how we never broke an axle in that truck, but it never failed us.

Pretty cool to see how they opperator. My family farm had its own mill. It hasn’t been an operational farm in decades but I should talk to some family to hear old farm stories.

So interesting.....looks good feed . Great video !....thanks .

The fresh milled and mixed feed from our local mill is the only kind we will ever use for our livestock!!!

thanks for sharing

Great video; loved the ending.

I know this is an older video but this was a great video. There is a co-op that delivers and fills up the grain bin for the cattle near here. Using the drums as well as a storage type locker is always a great idea. I have seen others on youtube who do not use this type of storage and they have had major problems. Growing up my grandpa would always store feed in a drum and even put a block on top of the tightened lid for extra protection.

Wow, this is an interesting video 👍

Evan I grew up near a old feed mill and bought a lot of feed from them. Your video brings back many fond memories, thank you.. good luck with your long work schedule coming up.

Evan I was a little ahead of myself when I made the comment on your feeding of your pig's I am new to your channel didn't see the video of the feed mill. I don't know what your feed is made up for your different animals so you might need several different grain wagons and since they will deliver that might be the best way for your farm thxs keep the videos coming 😎

f it smells good it has an "aroma" if it smells bad it has an "odor". Thanks for the tour! That feed mill is just a couple of hours away from me.

Great mill tour! I always liked the smell of the freshly ground feeds in those old mills.

we have an Amish feed mill that we use, and yes there is a huge difference in the quality. i also worked at Tractor Supply and used their feed and there was a chemical smell to it.

That was great seeing how they mix and bag the feed.

When I was a younger man I was a millwright we would go to feed mills and fix or replace augers,bins,leg systems change out bearing ,you name it we would fix it plus we did a lot of work in elevators,it made me who I am today as far as fixing thing started doing this when I was 18 learned how to weld too! Nice video brought back memories!

Great video, I remember that smell from being a kid at our feed mill watching them grind and bag feed

Your ending was so funny! Of course the wife is always right. Right?? LOL

This video is awesome

dad had a lot of cattle he managed to get salvage feed out of date we fed out a lot feed lot calves had a feed mill, we would use our ruff hay (mase stocks & that) ground the hay mixed in the feed mineral & salt put in self feeders = put the weight on those calves Good times

Another day on the farm....great video

You should now have an even better relationship with your feed supplier. 😀

Thanks for sharing this trip to the mill. Very interesting. I would think that being mixed fresh like that, it would be fresher. It will be great next year to know that you can have it delivered. That not only saves time for you but saves wear & tear on your truck. Have a Blessed day.

The aroma comes from roasted soybeans to make it easier to grind and to remove toxins in the seeds and sweet aroma from corn kernels, lately I make my own feed from soybeans, corn from my backyard garden, we buy a small mill and mix it by hand and minerals, really enjoy making their own independent feed, imagine how much profit we get

Lets see that tuurr lol thanks for the video!

Good video Thanks

Stay safe working the shutdown. Maybe Rebecca can keep us updated…. Hey they are always right! Have a good day to all.

Don't over work! I find all your videos very good and interesting, thank you!

Wish we could still get Kent Feeds in Texas...

I needed this and it makes me proud again to be American 🇺🇸

I really enjoyed the feed mill tour, thanks. I am an industrial mechanic in a steel mill and enjoy the machinery in your videos. Keep up the great video work!

Those ducks were sure letting you know how they felt...

Great video again mate, thank you for sharing. Looking forward for the next update 👍🏼

Hey Evan Please Paint your Nice Real Farm Barn Red, I love the ole Fashioned Real Bank Basement Warm Barns, don't like those newer Pole Barns, not near as Warm for Babies as the Bank Barn's were, I Have one with Gambrell Roof Line, Love it and Yes it is Red :-)

Cool video

..gotta keep the critters well fed..lol..good one, stay safe..

Hi..... Evan nice to see you, thank you for showing your video homestead chicken Duck Goose farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐕🐈🐐🐖🐄🐠🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍

Nice

if you need something to hold lots of feed get a few gravity wagons. cheap and movable feed storage (just a few acres do this)

A good video, I liked seeing the feed mill.
