Members of our chapter traveled to Glasgow, Ky. to CPC Commodities on October 16th. CPC is known for its quality in complete feeds and their back-grounding operation.
CPC's main feed mill was designed in three different levels. Our students are wondering if they should walk across the bridge that overlooks the two lower levels. Beneath them are bays of soybean hulls and corn.
