Find the corn grinder and more
This little Vivore grinder has been perfect for what I wanted—cracking our own Boone County white corn for the chickens without a bunch of fuss. It’s adjustable, a five-gallon bucket fits right under it, and for the price it’s been doing a good job so far. I can’t speak to long-term longevity yet, but it’s already made feeding easier around here.
Pros
- +Adjustable grind for cracked corn vs. finer meal
- +Works well for cracking corn for chickens
- +Affordable compared to similar grinders
- +Five-gallon bucket fits under the output
Cons
- -Not ideal for grinding large amounts of cow or hog feed (would be running it constantly)
- -May need sifting for cornmeal and tighter adjustment for a finer grind
- -Longevity unknown yet
