The White Deer Feed Mill for Country View Family Farms is seriously amazing enough for one more post about it! Check out these fun facts that were provided at the ribbon cutting ceremony:
- The 176-foot tall mill tower is slightly smaller than the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy and Walt Disney World’s Cinderella Castle in Florida.
- 975,000 hogs will be fed from this facility
- 8,000 tons of feed will be produced weekly
- More than 223,000 man hours were spent on this project
- 8,000 feet of new rail tracks were built
- 2,200 cars unloaded each year
- 460,000 tons of corn needed
- More than 16,000 trucks removed from roadways
- 1.5 million pounds of reinforced steel used in construction
- 20,000 cubic yards of concrete used in construction
- The original Jacob McCurly Farmstead from 1820 still stands next to the feed mill and remains in use by the Kling Family
