What diameter holes in a grinder screen will only crack corn and not powder it. Feed mix is for sheep. NH 358 grinder/mixer

Rick has the right idea. I grind all my own sheep feed for my finishing lambs and I never use a screen. This way a few kernels will pass through whole. The other trick is to use a large tractor. I like a JD 4430, but I also use an IH 806 with great results. With that large of tractor you can run a mill while running the tractor a little faster than idle. At that slow speed when a hammer hits a kernel it will crack it and not pulverize it.

When ever we crack shell corn we use the 1" screen and then idle the tractor to 1/4 speed. It is hard not to get powder when grinding shell corn. A corn cracker would be the way to crack the corn, some times we grind a bale or two of hay which seems to keep the powder contained. We use the 1" screen for grinding hay.

I think the one we mainly used was 5/8" or 3/4" inch - cracked virtually all - not much powder -
