HIGH-MOISTURE CORN FACILITY
The Folkens were feeding their cattle, however, with a rudimentary facility unchanged in more than 40 years. It consisted of an auger feeding a 10,000-bushel square bin mounted atop a steel-sided building containing a roller mill.
The cattle feeder hired EBM Construction Inc., Norfolk, NE (800-356-9782), to build a new $1 million corn grinding facility with state-of-the-art technology. “I met (EBM President) Guy Ellsworth on a trip to Savannah, GA,” Folken recalls. “EBM has the reputation of being the best millwright company in our area. They work long hours to make sure everything is right before they leave. I wanted a facility that would be around for my grandkids to use.”
