139,000 bushel with a million bushels total and still not enough

When was much younger put those up for a living.

Very possible I had a hand in building the equipment that produced the materials for that bin

A smart individual to put a set of stairs on the bin.

Helped put a few up years ago don't know how many bolts are in them but there's a bunch gets kind of warm if your the guy on the inside.

Few peso's there between the bin and the rig under it... anything new is usally nice.

Every time i go hunting in Illinois i like seeing the grain moving equipment there. Theres an old 6500 bushel and 4 3500 bushel bins at home ive shoveled out many times growing up grinding cow feed. Only the 6500 has a sweep.

Anybody know a rough cost of those bins? Neighbor by the cabin just put up 8

Our bins and leg are GSI , good stuff been pleased so far. That’s a biggun

And here I thought you were just a cowboy... crushed to think you have a 9 to 5..........

Had a 9-5. I done several different things. Been an auctioneer, done hydraulic and pneumatic work, machinist and tool maker, built hydraulic power units. Now I cowboy full time

I helped build 4, 100,000 bushel bins back in the late 70's. Probably one of the hottest jobs I have ever done. Mid summer was not pleasant.

… I knew it … concrete cowboy on a dude ranch now

… I’m running out of heros

U aren't the first person I've ever let down

The steel Ben's are impressive as are the cement ones as well , over my lifetime I've seen at least 2 maybe 3 wood and tin grain Ben's burn to the ground .

At least one man had fallen to his death from one also .

Farm I get to go dove hunt on in AR had about 5 of those that were full and sending a constant stream of loaded trucks to the Mississippi river to load barges last year

Hope they have another great year this year

Impressive to see that much corn/rice/soybeans in one spot

Last bin job as in on was 1 million 400-thousand-bushel ln Billings Montana. Snow storm chased us all the way back to south east Iowa.

Best estimates I hear are %3-$4 per bushel with a concrete base. That is a bin, now when you add in augers, legs, dryers and maybe scales etc. they are not cheap, which is one reason why in the big corn belt area you will find huge piles on the ground covered with canvas, tarp etc. Travelling through central ILL 15 years ago there was a pile that looked to be 1/2 mile long, and it was wide and tall too.

Used to be programs to help put up storage In the 70's. Been away from it so long no idea how it works now. Flat storage has a lot of waste and very weather dependent on that as well. Then add double handling for icing on the cake.
