[QUOTE="Dead Rabbits, post: 6495601, member: 70596"] Why even have grain storage on farm ? Used to cut at a 30000 acre farm in South Dakota that had maybe 20000 bushel storage( half a days harvest at best) and that was for their own use. Run by a very shrewd guy who also didn’t own any combines, and no interest in ever getting any. Claimed he was profitable every year. It seems like your system in the UK kind of forced the grain storage onto the farmer more so than here. So the infrastructure wouldn’t be there to go from field to buyer. Grain handling is something I despise though so I’m clearly biased. [/QUOTE]
