I'm wondering why everybody seems to think that pods need to be ground for
cows???  Anybody know?  My cows practically knock me over to get to the
whole pods when I put them out.  the only reason I can come up with is that
grinding also grinds the seeds, maybe, and then they don't sprout after
going thru the digestive system.  Grinding the pods, which I tried with a
chipper, gives off a strong smell that tends to burn the senses....eyes and
nose.
