Gianforte farm will purchase a blower system inventory scales and supporting elements to enhance the processing capacity of dairy and livestock operations in central new york

An existing facility grinds corn and soybeans for livestock feed and this project will introduce efficient load out equipment for feed commodities inproving capacity to supply current and future feed customers with organic feed. By integrating a continuousflow system with the ability to efficiently load out regional organic livestock and dairy producers will have an additional reliable consistent and competitive source of domestically locally produced organic feed. This project enhances the regional organic supply chain and its resiliency improves the local agricultural economy and provides current and future feed buyers with additional options for purchasing domestic organic feed which may be more costeffective due to less transportation costs. In addition this capacity expansion will result in an increase in purchasing of organic corn and soybeans from other local operations thus enhancing the impact of this project while also keeping feed inputs local.
