Old way to use the bins and store on farm- harvest and feed cattle or hogs, sell them instead of grain. Still have price varying problems. Bins for later sale maybe good for long hauls to elevators, contract price for later delivery than regular harvest. Other way close enough to Twin cities- specialty crops but in your case maybe not practical for farmer markets for sweet corn. One crop for higher price is 'Chinese Black' soybeans, a lower oil content, higher protein variety used to make Tofu and the 'textured vegetable protein' fillings. Use of bins for only that variety is almost required by the buyers who've gotten contaminated beans from elevators that were supposed to keep 'edible by humans' beans separated, but had leftovers in bottom of bin or in spouts. Other specialty is flint corn meant for corn flour or polentia meal- the on site bins that don't get some GMA/round up ready corn mixed in is what the buyer needs and if you can get half way to 'Organic' crop, price may be double regular corn price- but yields are a little lower and 'semi organic' means minimal spray of few things, cultivatiing preferred so Amish and Mennonites are main suppliers. Edible bean price north central Iowa about 4 or so years back was $14.00 bushel according to brother who didn't take up contract offer, kept with standard oil type bean and got $8.00/bu. Specialty crop or contract for a later delivery to use some bin space after drying--or find a market for critter feed. RN
