Ep. 10 - The Evolution of Cattle Feeding: Insights With Chris & Karen of Green's Welding

In this episode, Erica with Feeders Grain and Farm Supply visits Green's Welding in Appleton City, Missouri, to sit down with Chris and Karen and hear the story behind their family-owned ag manufacturing business. What started as a 10-year-old learning to weld through 4-H has grown into decades of innovation in cattle equipment — all built with farmers in mind. From repairing old creep feeders to designing durable bulk bins, bunks, creep feeders, and UTV feeders, Green's Welding has focused on one thing: making feeding cattle easier, safer, and more reliable. In this conversation, we cover: The history and growth of Green's Welding from a two-car garage to multiple buildings Why their bulk feed bins are built heavier and designed for better feed flow How real-world farm experience drives product design and improvements What sets their cattle bunks, creep feeders, and UTV feeders apart Common feeding mistakes and how to extend the life of your equipment Why family-owned manufacturing still matters in agriculture Chris shares how listening to customers — and thinking about what would make life easier for older farmers — has shaped every product they build.
