If you can get dumped quickly at harvest at the ethanol plant, probably won’t pay to have bins unless you historically have corn that is slow to dry down.
Your best price is likely always going to be at the end user.
Forward contracting also reduces need for bins. And just because grain is in a bin doesn’t mean the price of that grain is going to increase.
How important is grain storage for a farm? Payback?
