i take it Dave the silos are from brushwood toys? great layout

[dave the farmer]

thanks all for the comments.yes the hopper bottom bins and the smaller round bins are brushwood toys.the larger bins at the side of the on floor store are standi from the usa.got them from bossen implememt,inc iowa bin#42. with a extra ring.

[JEP]

[Oakley Farms]

Just a drying floor or continuous flow setup too? Do you store for others or just yourselves?

[dave the farmer]

The on floor store on the left can take dry grain,the right has grain stirrers,warm air blower.the dryer is a continuous system.we dry/store for the farms we cut for.hope to get a bit of spare storage soon.

[Light Land]

Messy sample, what combines did you run last year?

[Oakley Farms]

Just out of interest how do you pass on premiums to the people you cut for, is all grain mixed into one store and then sold through one company, with the better farms suffering a knock back and the poorer farms get a slight rise?

[dave the farmer]

We ran 1 jd s690i and a jd t 670i for harvest 2013.2012 class lexicon 600 and a new holland cr 9080.

On the grain storage front .we weight every load in.and record it for the farm field.each farm has its own bin /onfloor storage tonne age

Some of our own grain is put in a pool storage to make room for our contract farms grain.each farm sells its own grain at the moment.
