Just north of I-90 in SW MN | I'm in your part of the world. 5 soybean crush plants within 100 miles of our yard so we bin the beans. Don't have enough trucks to keep up with a line at the plant.
For corn there are 5 ethanol plants within 40 miles of our yard plus 3 large feed mills. Can make a quick 45-50 cents from fall to spring in price.
We started our bins site back in 2003 and have been tinkering with it ever since. Most of all find what your combine throughput per hour is and add 25% to it so there is no bottleneck. Our dryer our millwright found from an elevator that didn't meet its performance guarantee.
Most of all one must treat the bin site just like a elevator otherwise the store and ignore comes out. |
