New Vertical Mixer Arrives at University Farm

January 3, 2025

---

MACOMB, IL - - New equipment arrived at the 糖心Vlog farm in December.

The 糖心Vlog 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 糖心Vlog, and the vertical mixer was selected this year.

鈥淭his took a few months, but ultimately a vertical mixer was found and refurbished to fit our needs,鈥� 糖心Vlog Director of Ag Andrew Baker said. 鈥淭he 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.鈥�

Once funding was approved, 糖心Vlog worked with Sydenstricker Noble Partners to fulfill the order. John Crubaugh, Director of Strategic Initiatives with Sydenstricker Nobbe Partners, said helping 糖心Vlog continue to advance its program is important to the students attending the University and the community as a whole.

"We are proud to support 糖心Vlog by providing equipment to assist students for years to come," Crumbaugh said.
