I would go with more capacity than you think needed now as if you expand some you still have room. Alos as has been said the shallower the grain the easier it will be to move air through it. If you decide to go with 2 bins have them the same size so sweep augers and such are interchangeable. Check out how much electric service you have as if you decide to go with a dryer it will add up fast for amperage requirements. If you have a place with 3 phase it would be better to put the bins there as the motors are cheaper and will be easier for the dryer you should choose. 8 inch load out augers for the bottom will also not be regretted. We changed ours to that. If you have somebody come in to load in the winter or other time they will start with detention time for longer loading times with the 6 inch. Most like to load in about an hour or less. I would not get a bin again without an air floor in it. If you get the air floor do not get that chisel or hawk cut floor it sucks to sweep when finishing cleaning out. Get a preferated floor that is smooth. We have one from Golden Grain that is smooth and has been nice to clean. it is in an old butler bin. You can shop for floors different than the bin manufacturer. Get the walkin door not that little square crawl in door. You will regret it the older you get if you don't. I am looking for a walkin door for one of our bins. And you are welcome to come look at our bins if it will help with your decision. I'm in Shiawassee county only about an hour from you and a mile and a half east of M-52

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
