Default RE: Cracked corn for a spinning feeder ?

Kevin, I'd be careful with using cracked corn or adding anything to whole corn. My dad owns some property about 3 hours away from us and he doesn't get there very often, so he bought a 500 lb trough feeder with a spinner in the top of the downchute. He tried adding a couple hundred pounds of dried molasses to the whole corn. When we went back about 6 weeks later all of the corn and molasses were still in the hopper. Apparently the molasses got moist and became big clumps of corn, too big and too hard to fall through the spinner and down the tube. We had to bail it all out of the hopper onto the ground and start over.
