I have no idea how many acres you have or can have. I also would go with multiple bins. You might want to put part of it to beans at some time as well and multiple would give you an option a single will not do. I would try for 3 bins instead of 2, plan on one for beans and 2 for corn if you can do an every other year rotation. But if you would decide to go with corn only you would have that option. Remember the bigger you go the heavier it has to be built and heavier means more cost. I would try to find the smaller used bins that are no longer being use by the big farmers, even if you would have to put up eventually 4 smaller bins you will be ahead as you will have options. I wish I had bins when I was farming but I only had cribs. I think you are one that would rather haul your own crop than have a semi come in to pick it up. And the smaller cheaper setups would work as good for that. I would try to find a seperate dryer and not depend on a bin dryer for each bin, only a fan per bin. And you said you do not like heights, it only gets worse as you get older, I know from first hand about that, I always had the height problems and any more at 73 8 foot high is too much for me. If you set then right you can make like a fire excape stairs that could work for several bins and be a lot safer than a ladder and if planed for ahead you could do that down the years. You might even find one in good shape from a building being torn down. And at say 500 bu per load you have a better chance at getting a higher average price than if you send it all at 5000 bu in at once.

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
