Farm Progress
Do you invest in more grain bins because you can make money storing and selling grain when the time is right? Maybe, but perhaps you invest for other reasons. Tom Osborn and family, Stockwell, Ind., committed to a major grain center expansion in 2021, which nearly doubled their storage space. Their goal was eliminating wait time in truck lines and increasing harvest efficiency.
“We spent too much time waiting to unload because we didn’t have enough storage space that it required three semis,” Tom says. “Now we can harvest smoothly with two semis.”
