Product Overview
Investing in constructing or expanding a grain storage facility on-farm is usually a substantial financial commitment. Usually completed in a number of stages to spread the capital cost over a number or years, forethought into how the storage will function in each of the construction stages is important. In this research report, Kondinin Group engineer and grain storage expert, Ben White identifies the points farmers should consider when buying grain storage gear or investing in on-farm grain storage infrastructure. Together with Mark Saunders, a range of smart storage facilities were inspected and photographed from on high with a drone.
