That's why I was thinking a leg would be at least a half million dollars. By leg I mean the leg and the pit and all of the spouting and everything else needed to make it work.

Leg size basically comes down to the number of combines feeding it and the average bushels per hour each combine is pushing (assuming you have enough carts and trucks to keep the grain away from the combines).

It seems likely that within 10 years that would be around 9,000 bushels an hour most of the time for me and sometimes it's more than 9,000 bushels an hour right now.

A grain bagger can keep up with that easy. I would hate to have a leg that could not keep up with that.

I think the entire project (630K bushels plus 10K leg) at todays prices would be right around $2.2M. I'm not planning on throwing that kind of money at it on year 1. I'm looking more at 1 or 2 bins and a big auger just to get started and then positioning things so that the leg and larger bins can be added in the future.
