swohio | One man show here. Farm around 700 ac, 550 ac of that is within 6 miles or much less of a local place. Never opened on Sunday's, but when harvest going good M-S 8-7. Lines are never much at all. I gave up a old 7000 bu bean because I can take it right away out of the field and that's the end. I do have one bin with a stirrator, hated by a lot on here but mine was brand new in 14 and has caused me almost zero issues. It's only a 12,000 bu one but that's what I could afford then. I would love to have the same bin to store beans in, you could start when beans are 15% or 16 and then blow air and run stirrator when you get dry beans and mix them. Its so much easier just to haul it in, yes I know the downfalls but when you do everything yourself, it really speeds harvest up without messing too much with bins. Forgot to add, I don't dry much corn down to 15% because I get rid of it in March, I've also dried beans once in this bin, it made me a lot of money that year. | |

How important is grain storage for a farm? Payback?
