"Our three receiving pits have a combined capacity of 37,000 bushels per hour along with a combined drying capacity of 11,000 bushels per hour allowing quick turn-around times for patrons during the harvest season. As a service for patrons with livestock, we have a feed mill that grinds and mixes feed for all animals, both show and commercial, using quality Hubbard Feed concentrates and complete feeds.  Our feed service include "custom" grinding/mixing of feeds that can be bagged or loaded on site in bulk."
