Nothing large. Maybe 5K bushel? Fan in the bottom and, if possible, something to move the grain around to keep it cold in the center until I can get it to the the elevator? It won't stay in there long. I do not want LT storage. Too wet here to dump on the ground. Here is my (corn) story...
At least half the week I am a one man show so I combine, load, deliver. Everything goes fine as long as my untiled and uncooperative land doesn't get too productive. County average for this type of ground is about 125 bpa and I came close to that number last year. It was hard. This year, the elevator starts having issues with being full. Shuts me right down during great weather. Elevator opens up, weather tanks on me. On weekends I have no place to put crop, so I wait until Monday. It would really help if I could just pick the crop and dump and then every few days run it up to the elevator in loads. I could get someone to help me with that a couple times a week. Interested in suggestions.
Wagons have been considered and rejected. Would have to be a used bin. I don't make enough to justify new stuff.
If I ever get 200 bushel corn it will probably kill me. :)

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
