Gribble Starts eed Processing Operation Here A new farm service that brings complete feed processing plant into rustomers' farmyards nas been started In this area by In land Chemical Service. Inc.. of Heppner and Condon. In announcing the new opera- tl,i. Lowell Gribble. owner, said that the new "mill on wheels" Is expected to be a godsend to lo cal farmers and feeders who want to utilize their own grains and roughages for feeding live stock and poultry. One of the main advantages of the new service, he said, Is that it brings the mill to the farmer Instead of the farmer having to take his grist to the mill. The local feed service reports that farmers all across the coun try have found that it is far more convenient and economical to have their feed formulas pro cessed right on their farms. By eliminating feed handling, the new mobile farm service saves feeders a tremendous amount of time, labor, and money, according to tne equip ment owners. Increased empha ...... sjs is also placed on better nu- tritlon, enabling farmers to get high production and greater profit from their meat, milk and eggs.
