[AT] Johnson County Indiana tractorshow/Denton SEOld Threseher's Reunion - milo and wheat straw

[David Bruce]

That trips the old brain.  Last Saturday as we were freezing ice cream 
for the annual ice cream social at church conversation got around to 
some locals round baling wheat straw.  What I learned was at least one 
dairy operator locally is using wheat straw in his ground feed mix for 
the herd.
