Increase Farm Efficiency with Farmco
Farmco has been manufacturing agriculture equipment since the mid-’80s and has focused on making farm work a little easier from the beginning. Farmco equipment can increase your productivity and make feeding your animals easier with their many different feeder models. Other equipment can assist with moving hay and storing grain. All focused on maximizing your time!
Here’s how Farmco makes your farm more efficient:
1. Hay Feeders on Wheels
Using a cattle feeder with wheels can actually make feeding your herd much quicker. For farmers with several different pastures, loading a feeder with hay and hauling it to the herd is easier than hauling the individual bales. This can save time on large properties with many different pastures for cattle. Check out our 700DRB series feeders with wheels for easy transport.

2. Horse Feeders That Prevent Waste
Farmco designed a horse feeder to save money and save labor, too. Our HF Series Slow Feed Horse Feeder uses a net with 2 ½” openings that restrict how much a horse can eat and waste.
Since the horses don’t waste as much feed, you don’t need to spend as much time reloading your feeders. Also, since less feed is wasted, you don’t need to spend time cleaning up the wasted feed either. You can see the HF Series Slow Feed Horse Feeder here.

3. Eliminate Mold or Vermin Damage in your Feed
Depending on how you store grain, mold and vermin can destroy it before you have the chance to feed your cattle. Since feeding cattle spoiled or vermin damaged grain causes health problems, farmers must make sure that their grain is dry and free of mice or rats.
A Farmco grain bin is a watertight, vermin-resistant storage solution (see our 5-ton option). With the right equipment, you can eliminate the concern of spoiled feed. Check out Farmco’s portable grain bins here.
4. Creep Feeders for Less Herd Micromanagement
Allowing your calves to have unrestricted access to grain promotes all-important weight gain. However, you don’t want to give all of your cows unlimited access to the feed. That’s why purpose-built creep feeders can be such an important tool when creep feeding calves.
Farmco builds a sturdy and easy-to-use creep feeder that saves you time on the farm and allows your calves to gain weight quickly. You can see creep feeders for sale here.
