A weekend feature for you - Horses to horsepower

How much has the type of agricultural equipment available to you, determined how you farm? How much did the type of machinery available to your father or grandfather influence the way they farmed?

Obviously, the kind of equipment available to farmers has changed a lot over the decades, and so have general farming practices. But did we change how we farmed and looked for machinery to accommodate those changes, or did the machinery available to us at the time change our methods?

Throughout the last century, a handful of inventors saw a way to do things better, and created machines that could improve farming practices. Then the rest of us changed what we did when those new and innovative machines became available.

Video: Beyond the Kernel: How Horning Builds Better Forage & Grain Processing | Part 2 with Leon Horning?



In Part 2 of our conversation with Leon Horning of Horning Manufacturing, we dig deeper into the technology behind better forage and grain processing.

Leon shares insights into kernel processing and KP scores, processor roll design, high-moisture corn, stationary roller mills, equipment efficiency, horsepower requirements, durability, and reducing downtime during harvest. We also explore Horning’s Straight Tooth, Sawtooth and Fibertech Chevron rolls, along with the Shredder Mill and other equipment designed around real-world farming needs.

It’s a practical conversation about how the right processing technology can help producers get more value from their feed, equipment, and harvest.
