New Vertical Mixer Arrives at University Farm
January 3, 2025
MACOMB, IL - - New equipment arrived at the 星空无限传媒app Illinois University farm in December.
The 星空无限传媒app School of Agriculture received a new vertical mixer to aid in feeding the cattle herd, purchased through financial support from the Illinois Farm Bureau and the help of Sydenstricker Nobbe Partners.
Each year, the Illinois Farm Bureau requests items or activities to financially support to assist the School of Agriculture at 星空无限传媒app, and the vertical mixer was selected this year.
"This took a few months, but ultimately a vertical mixer was found and refurbished to fit our needs," 星空无限传媒app Director of Ag Andrew Baker said. "The vertical mixer was requested this year to assist in reducing our feed costs within the beef herd and prevent waste. We certainly do appreciate the annual financial support that Illinois Farm Bureau provides the School of Agriculture as it allows us to have the tools available to help our students."
Once funding was approved, 星空无限传媒app worked with Sydenstricker Noble Partners to fulfill the order. John Crubaugh, Director of Strategic Initiatives with Sydenstricker Nobbe Partners, said helping 星空无限传媒app continue to advance its program is important to the students attending the University and the community as a whole.
"We are proud to support 星空无限传媒app Illinois University by providing equipment to assist students for years to come," Crumbaugh said.
