Soy Oil Dustproofs Feed CROP STORAGE Grain Storage 11-6-32 "You have to see it to believe it. It reduces dust in confinement buildings at least 80%," says Illinois hog producer C. David Tiedemann, of Belleville, who "dustproofs" ground feed by lacing it with soybean oil
He pieced together a low-cost dispenser made up from an electric solenoid valve that cuts in whenever the motor on his Mix-Mill grinder starts up, some plastic tubing and a 2.5 gal. plastic jug. The device automatically drips soybean oil onto corn as it's ground at the rate of 1.5 gal. per ton of feed. "It reduces clouds of dust to a small puff when grinding, and when dumping feed into self-feeders," says Tiedemann. "If the dispenser happens to run out of oil, I can tell immediately by the amount of dust that boils up when reloading feeders."
