Farm Progress
The idea came from a couple of farmers visiting after church about finding a way to stay out of grain bins. The result, after two years of tinkering and testing, is the new Grain Weevil.
This is not a grain-bin bug you need to worry about. It is a new 30-pound robot that helps level grain in the bin, to keep farmers from having to enter the bins. It can be transported by backpack, and it is waterproof and dustproof. If it gets buried in grain, it can dig itself out of up to 5 feet of grain.
