- In this video I show and explain our old bin site. On August 10th, 2020 we were impacted by the "derecho" which completely destroyed it. I show some pictures of the carnage and transition into the rebuild phase. We are building a brand new "green site" bin set up. I go on to explain the specifications of the new site as well as the progress so far. We call the site Area 21 because we are breaking ground in a new area in 2021, and it has a nice tone to it such as a spinoff of Area 51 being that Area 51 is a place of the unknown such as the derecho was a freakish unknown event.
Turning tradgedy into future dreams by carrying agriculture forward for the next generation. Great video and thank for the encouraging walk through.
Thank you and absolutely. Update coming soon!
Awesome looking grain storage setup. Cannot wait to see it in action this Fall.
Thank you! We’re excited! Big upgrade!
Hey man, you didn’t awesome job explaining that. I don’t know anything about farming and storage and beans and all that other stuff but I pretty much understood everything you said. Broke my heart to see what you went through but like you said about an empire……
Thanks!
New to your Chanel looking forward to seeing the progression of the bin site and the rest of your operation.
Thank you. Stay tuned!
May God Watch over You and you’re Operation in the Future🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you sir!
Looks great, I’d say my suggestion would be to have a bigger overhead tank , or go ahead and plan for a second one, just in case. It’s nice to be able to fill those, and then if somebody isn’t there from the farm. Truckers can use the overheads by themselves. Just a thought.
Yes something we have talked about. Usually we’re the only ones that load and we do most of the trucking. But not to say that we wouldn’t consider it
All best from Europe, Poland! Watching all videos one by one! You have great scale of operation, really inspiring! :)
Wow that’s awesome and thank you!!
Great video it sucks you guys were hurt by the storm but from crappy circumstances rise the new wave of forming and technology you guys might as well expand at the right time but it still dosnt make the loss any easier have a great day be safe.
Yeah you’re exactly right it sucked to lose everything and really put in a wrench on last harvest. But nice that we can restart and build it the way we want it
WOW!!! a great to see you rebuilding. The videos that were out there were horrifying
Yes they were!
Looks like you're making a great recovery, good luck, subscribing to see updates.
Can you explain why you have dryers in future updates.
I'm not a farmer and alot the farms in my town planted houses so farming is drying up here in Southern NH
Thanks for sharing 👍
Absolutely Tim! Thanks for the support!
Very nice TY for sharing
Randall I just found this channel. You’ve been holding out on us.
As a former coop employee. Your setup gives coop guus wood. Its sad farmers are putting in better facilities. Your gonna enjoy that site
I worked at a coop the last two summers and you’re right. A lot of facilities are old but it’s a lot cheaper to keep them running then going out and building a new one
@@mannfamilyfarms381 you do have a point. Just frustrating from the employee point. Especially at harvest time when wed get our asses chewed. Btw watch the husker comments bahababa
Another great video
Thanks! Where it all started
I cant believe insurance paid 2/3 of it. You have a great insurance company. Our insurance company wanted us to put 60k dollars into our hog barn, after an engineer came out, to even be covered. I said no. Never heard from them since. But they still cash my check
They do what’s called replacement cost. So it covered what it would cost to replace everything we had. i.e. 280,000 bushels of storage. The additional storage we added was out of pocket. That’s where I come up with about 2/3 of it covered by insurance.
Good luck and congratulations on a great set up! I love your attitude and your plan for the future. May your future be very bright. Now some constructive advice on your TH-cam channel. Audio quality. You can improve your viewers experience greatly if you balance your music level with your voice over level. Example. When watching this video your viewers have to constantly raise the volume to here you speak and then quickly lower it when the music comes in. MUSIC IS WAY TOO LOUD! I know you are just starting out and learning to edit but if you fix one thing this would be it. Second point. SHOW YOUR FACE.
You did a great job with the content and explaining it. But we would like to see you on camera once and awhile. The drone footage was awesome and the site plans did a great job but you could have cut back and forth between the site plans and a few "on camera" shots of yourself talking. this makes for a more professional looking video and it also lets the viewer connect with you and it helps you "build a brand" Good luck in the future and may you have great success!
Thanks for the advice! Everything helps!
Great video looks great I enjoy your videos 🌽👍
Thank you!
First time I have seen your channel. Very impressed with what you're doing with the new bin site. I'm curious though, what is a derecho? At first glance I thought it looked like a tornado hit.
Welcome to the channel! Thanks for watching! A derecho is basically an in land hurricane. Straight line winds of 100+ mph. Flattened everything in its way!
Great grain storage!
Can’t wait till it’s done 😬
Good explanation 👍
This looks really awesome!!
Thank you!
Can't keep a good "Mann" down!!!
That’s right!!
Great video 👍🏻
Thanks Megan!
New sub.. Hello from Alabama..
Wow! Welcome!
I would imagine the are tax benefits to be had and accrued for silop construction for grain storage
Why flat base bins ? Wouldn't cone base be better for emptying?
Is there away to safe
Guard a silo site from Derecho damage in the future?
Flat base because it’s a lot cheaper and you get a lot more storage capacity. Hopper bins are much more expensive and we couldn’t put up near the storage for the money. They are much easier to clean out though for sure! As for future wind prevention. The new bins have much more substantial anchors and they have wind rings but that’s about it. All we can do is hope for the best
just found this TH-cam site / had to say hi
Hey! Hope you enjoy!
Why did you tear down the old bins that were left standing, especially the newer ones, or move the best two to area 29. What is the projective cost of the new site.
They were all damaged in some way. Insurance totaled them out. It would cost too much to fix for what’s it worth. Any of those bins would not of worked well in the area 21 layout. We wanted to make things easier and streamline not create another mess.
And it’s operational nowl
Yes! Stay tuned!
Who is your builder
Were the destroyed bins empty?
Yes. 2 had a little bit left in them. The derecho hit at a terrible time in August. Just when we are getting everything cleaned out before harvest
Who is your builder?
Lancaster out of Alden, IA
why ruin it with load music...thumbs down
Sorry you feel that way
It was a nice video,but the music was so loud have to turn it down then have you turn it up to hear what your saying. So back and forth up and down...lol
@@lzybull I understand. I’m a rookie at editing but comments like these are good because now I know what I need to fix. Thank you!
