We milk 120 cows and save $19,100 in feed per year with our Energrow System. Soyex is also fed to our heifers and calves. We got an Energrow System to reduce our external feed costs and be less dependent on market prices. We see the oil as the added bonus to pay for our machine that makes the feed. We look forward to use Soyex in our recently installed milking robots. We're happy with our Energrow System because it doesn't need much maintenance and runs itself as long as we have seed to crush!"

Our Energrow System is very easy to use and maintain. We produce fresh meal for our own farm and custom crush for other farmers in our area. Soyex leaves the cattle with a nice finish. We use Soyex as our main protein. Our purchased feed costs for a 60 cow herd has gone down by approximately $6000 per year. We've cut our fuel costs by at least 10% because we use our oil as fuel for our tractors. It's a great feeling to know we don't have to rely so much on external feed and fuel costs anymore.

We got our first Energrow System in 2006 and are now running 4 presses as a custom crushing business. We crush non-gmo and organic soybeans and flax. Energrow presses are very easy to use and maintain. They run safely on their own without someone having to be there to babysit them. The pelleted meals from the presses are very easy to store and handle. We blend our oil with diesel for our tractors and generator and we also sell oil for feed. Our customers love getting fresh feed for their animals and benefit a lot from the extra energy that's added to their rations. Our Soyex is always sold fresh from the press and local demand is growing!

We strive to make our farm as sustainable as possible. We've been running our Energrow System since 2008. We use our soya oil to blend into our diesel fuel. With diesel fuel over a dollar, it makes our oil worth over $1000/ton. We feed our freshly pelleted soybean meal (Soyex) to our cows to significantly reduce our purchased feed costs. We're proud to feed a ration that's made almost exclusively from ingredients produced on our farm.

We went with an Energrow System to take back more of our ration in house and have more control of the cost of our ration. I believe that it has reduced the cost of our ration, we were previously having our own beans roasted, plus the income from the oil. It's hard to say what impact it has had on the cows, we seem to be changing something all the time, but I will say that I think it has had a positive impact on butterfat levels and has reduced feed costs.

After consulting with my nutritionist, I came to the conclusion that it is more economical to use Soyex than using roasted beans.

We did a trial and we found that not only did we save on feed costs, our cows came up 15% in milk. Rather than just sell our beans to the local elevator and buying back the feed, you can make the feed yourself and save money – it saved everybody more money. We’re currently selling our oil to a local feed mill, but as fuel prices rise we expect to use the oil in our tractors."
