Grain Handling System

The farm Grain System is a Commercial Size Facility with 325,000 bushels of storage capacity. A large receiving pit and high capacity elevator leg allow for incoming grain of 7,500 bushels per hour. For shipping grain out, three overhead cone bins allow for loading of an 1,800 bu semi train in less than 12 minutes.

Wet grain from the field is dried in a Continuous Flow LP Gas Tower Dryer that can remove five points of moisture at a rate of 2,000 bushels per hour. The Dryer is supplied from the cone bins and dry grain is directed into the seven long term storage bins.

Much of the Structural Support and Grain Handling for system was fabricated and assembled in the Farm Shop prior to being lifted into place with Crane.

The farm Grain System continually evolves to improve efficiency. A 15,000 bu Cone Hopper Bin and Dedicated Elevator Leg are being added to supply dryer.
