[QUOTE="Bongodog, post: 6495563, member: 1343"] One answer might be that at an average US yield of around 1.5 tons to the acre bins are less arse ache than at UK yields. Look at some of the US youtube videos of emptying grain bins, most seem to have their own trucks they use to take grain off the farm, and are happy to take an hour or more to load 20 tons of grain. Imagine asking a UK lorry driver to hang around for 90 minutes while you auger 28 tonnes into his trailer. [/QUOTE]
