Soy presses marry well with dairy

On Farm Presses let Dairy Operations get Better, not Bigger

Ontario Grain Farmer, November 2011
Amy Petherick

HIGH PRICES are a welcome change for grain farmers but a challenge for feed purchasers like dairy farmers.  Although many choose to get bigger to increase profitability, some producers are focusing on feeding cows better.

With the quota cap limiting herd expansion since 2009, many Ontario dairy farmers that are looking to grow their operation have started re-investing in their cropping and feeding practices. One increasingly popular option to investigate is on-farm feed processing with the use of a soybean press. Jasmin Hofer of Energrow, a Newton based company that produces one type of oilseed press, says she has been extremely busy this fall attending shows and trying to keep up with information requests.

“Farmers are telling us that they have been thinking more and more about getting a press for their farms,” says Hofer. “Since dairy producers can't buy quota right now, there is more cash available for other investments.”

2012 Energrow Pressing System Unveiled

The all-new ES3750B Energrow Oilseed Pressing System was unveiled at the Canadian International Outdoor Farm Show on September 20-22. Energrow's pressing system features a touchscreen PLC control panel, which makes it very easy for users to oversee the running of the system. "These systems are made to run themselves," says Energrow systems designer Nicholas Leja. "We design Energrow Systems to be as easy as possible to use and maintain, while still providing high quality oil and meal products."

New features and benefits of the ES3750B:

  • runs on its own (24/7 high efficiency production with no babysitting)
  • timed production, and self start-up and shut down (saves the producer a lot of time and press runs when its needed)
  • presets to run different crops (easy to change from one oilseed to another)
  • interacts with supporting equipment (Hammer Mill Control Panel means the augers, bins, and hammer mill that are part of the system will reliably work together)
  • System is expansion ready (more presses can easily be added as capacity or demand grows)

Energrow Demonstrates Oilseed Pressing at Farm Days

Energrow at Empire Farm Days

SENECA FALLS, N.Y. — Processing oilseeds on-site to produce feed and fuel makes sense. Among the scores of vendors at the recent Empire Farm Days, Energrow showcased its new on-farm ES3750B Oilseed Pressing System. The system processes oilseeds such as soybeans, canola, flax, sunflower seed, rapeseed, linseed, sesame seed, mustard seed and similar seeds. “There’s a lot of high costs farmers are facing and this guarantees the price more by pressing their own,” said founder Jasmin Hofer. “Instead of selling soybeans and buying them back as feed, they’ll know what the costs are. They’re not just reducing the cost of the feed, but they’re extracting the oil to cut their fuel costs.” Plus, farmers can choose when they want to process oilseeds.
