What height is it please?Frame, roof z purlins, wall steel purlins, posts will be broken out to full length
So your talking £200/t
80x40, 24ft to eves. Split in to 4 bays. 1 bay for drier 3 storage bays - £200000. Includes concrete inside and similar concrete area outside. The internal stuff is frighteningly expensive!
This is to store about 600T of wheat.
Still looking at options!
Hence why I am still looking at my options!Over £300 per tonne just for drying and storage on land you already own? That's staggeringly expensive.
But when/if the wheat job goes t!t5 up you can rent it out for £4 sq ft. as industrial, £15 ft for offices, or convert it into a nice house.Over £300 per tonne just for drying and storage on land you already own? That's staggeringly expensive.

PlanningIf the market for light industrial/office space is so hot, why would anyone build grain storage on the farm?

I am trying to keep on farm storage if I can. Not worried about the capital value as it is on an AHA farm, but will free up a current barn to provide additional income, as well as update our crop storage to a more modern system. I may go for a mobile dryer set up and do away with lots of internal works to keep the cost down.That does sound expensive but a shed will add value to your farm whereas central storage won’t.
I've got 1000t of grain storage, and still send all mine to CS. Mainly as my setup is old; won't keep up with the combine; and there is zero market for letting things out round here.
Looking at some of the current costs to build grain stores and the price of gas/kerosene for drying, it makes CS look better value than it did 6 months ago.I've got 1000t of grain storage, and still send all mine to CS.

Thats a common problem, mission creep, and thinking all expansion is good.I think they have forgotten that they are meant to be a members cooperative.
Big thing will be how well the pools have performed, I'm concerned my CS 'strategic marketing partner' has had some unbelievably poor pool results.
I'm surprised it's not been mentioned on here but i believe that one co operative is basically taking away it's members storage rightsI have some central storage and keep wondering why. New terms arrived this week amd

Overall it was an expensive mistake.
