An organic feed method for use as food supplements for humans or animals as well as for feeding plants. The organic feed method generally includes first mixing an organic material such as peat moss or compost with water at a ratio of approximately 1.2 pounds of organic material to 1 gallon of water. The resulting mixture is pumped through a wet mill grinder to reduce size, maintaining a temperature of below 130 degrees Fahrenheit through the mixture and grinding processes. After grinding, the resulting mush is pumped through a 400 mesh filter, cooled to room temperature, and bottled as an organic feed. The organic feed may be utilized as a health or nutritional food supplement for humans or animals. The organic feed may also be mixed with water or chemicals such as fertilizer and applied to plants as plant feed.

Trailer device for mixing and spreading sand and peat

Our transfer mechanism is attached to the front of a conventional combine. The transfer mechanism includes a number of longitudinally spaced rows of laterally spaced curved teeth or tines that move rearwardly and upwardly so that the tines of each row successively engage a growing or standing crop, such as pinto beans or field peas, lifting the crop sufficiently so that the cutter bar of the combine effectively severs the crop adjacent the surface of the ground. Continued rearward and upward movement of the tines, while still engaging the severed crop, transfers the crop to a more elevated location adjacent the auger. When the tines reach the auger, the shaft on which those particular tines are mounted is angularly rotated so as to release or dump the severed crop onto a curved floor beneath the auger. The auger moves the cut crop laterally and then rearwardly into the threshing portion of the combine.
