I am much in the same place as you, with less acres.
I currently haul everything 22 miles to a river terminal. Rarely wait in any lines, have opportunity to rent a couple small bins if I wanted to.
But for me right now, I feel I'm better off to haul everything off. Maybe when my grandpa isn't able to help truck or I have a lot more acres my opinion will change.
I would rather own a sprayer, extra planter to get bean done early, another semi, grain cart, etc than bins.
I wanted everything also 40 years ago. But I had a hard time paying for those things I needed (not wanted but needed to farm). Just not way I could possibly have paid for all this stuff. |
How important is grain storage for a farm? Payback?
