Philippine feed mills

Here are more photos from the Philippines. We had a chance to see US Soybean Meal that was just loaded off a boat stored in a huge building being loaded into 50 pound bags and then hauled by trucks to small feed mills around the country. The totall feed production is made up of 40% "backyard" feed millers that do very small batches for their own operations.
