Geoff,

I can't name names but can tell you how it works.

The company ships product to a contract "pre-mixing" mill. The product is then put into a "pre-mix" the formula and mixing sequence of which is proprietary. The pre-mix is then shipped to the farm location or integrator's mill where it is added and mixed with the integrator's proprietary feed.

The greater the quantities mixed the greater the chances of unequal distribution. I do NOT know the measures that have been put in place to ensure equal distribution, but know that it has been the subject of much discussion between the company, the pre-mixing agent and the end users. Equal product distribution is one of the factors that contribute to successful product results.

FWIW
