Cob & husk too; what are you going to do with this?

You can feed that to cattle. My Grandpa used to make a mix with ear corn, oats, salt, minerals and pelletized alfalfa, and had me scoop that into his hammer mill for his cows.

Sounds about right - but not the exact mixture we used. Sometime my Grandfather would sprinkle a little black powder on top of the feed. It was supposed to get rid of worms, but made the local grist mill a good place to get black powder for our solid fuel rocket experiments. :) :) :)

Ah yes, the old sulfur and molasses trick. Best if you are working outdoors....
