Brian - great job with the white board I have a much better understanding of why you have the processes that you have. Seems like you do an amazing job managing the resources that you have. Be nice if everyone could build their dream from scratch, but that's just not the way it works. Thks
Great tour! Even tho it's old it's still way better than filling randomized bins with a swing hopper! Awesome to see old facilities still pumpin at Max capacity
I knew I recognized that those silos and that mug! My old supervisor turned me on to your channel and this was this first video I watched. Haven't seen you since high school bud. Keep it up! Willy, out.
Hey man. Loved the video. Full disclosure. I was one of the original sales people that helped design the system Binmanager, but no longer with the company. Now I’m a 1st generation farmer myself. Started in 2017 from scratch. I think in time you will fall in love with the system more and more every year. I still get calls from my old customers, now friends, and answer their questions and they still thank me for helping design their sites and give them ideas. Some suggestions if you do put some systems in your older bins (or even if you don’t) make sure you have vents on your roofs. You have mentioned in past videos, issues with condensation or spoilage or pipes plugging. More than likely it’s due to the moisture not having anywhere to go except into the leg spouts, condensates and falls back onto the peak or run down the roof to the side walls. Peak vents are inexpensive and easy to install. Imagine blowing into a pop bottle with a pin hole at the top, the airflow doesn’t have anywhere to go. Now imagine drilling a couple 1/4” holes in the same bottle. Air flows has somewhere to go and take the moisture with it. Axial flow fans suck. Centrifugal fans are more energy efficient and have greater cfm, and pay for themselves in time with energy savings. The system will make you money year after year on soybeans, save you money on your corn (unless you are natural air drying the it will make you money) but it can be difficult to trust the system 100%. The fans run a goofy times sometimes. Trust it and you will be happy.
Can you explain why it seems the majority of farms in the USA and Canada use circular bins for corn and bean storage as opposed to a clearspan building, reinforced walls often with an internal air tunnel for routine cooling and ventilation. Perhaps semi permanent subdivisions for differing crops or varieties. Load in with a drag conveyor and sometimes a travelling cross conveyor via a drive over pit (under cover) with separate continuous flow dryer. Unload generally via big bucket on a loading shovel into trucks but sometimes drag conveyor to the leg over the pit or overhead hopper bottom bin. I understand the additional your major issue of wet corn storage when you are able to harvest corn with modern combines so fast but is solvable with separate wet storage close to the dryer and can finish up being dry crop storage.
We still farm a 1500 acre farm in Minnesota and have a smaller grain setup than your old bin system. It’s unfortunate we have to sell all of our bins and half of our corn every year especially where we are we need to dry it so we want a new grain system.
Both grain facilities are really nice! It seems you have a love hate relationship with the older grain bins due to the water. Great video can’t wait to see Bob in the Gleaner combine.
So Professor Brian, good clear presentation, well thought out and explained. Can,t help thinking Big Mumma had a hand in that. As for finding the right hole........ I guess detention was the only option...................
Brian you might call a professional water proofer out and see what they can do with those places that gather water. they might have a good sealer to seal it
Just because you can...doesn't mean you should. It seems apparent that you need a new solution. I hope someone that can help you...hoping someone sees this and recommend a solution that will help with your "today" as well as your "tomorrow". Good luck and God Speed to you and your family. I can relate and hope that our family farms can sustain a future for the US and all of the world accordingly. Love your videos and keep on keeping on my friend! Proud America at its finest!!
Hey Brian. You could probably use some kind of roofing material to make the dog house water tight-ish. They do some applications to concrete roofs that come in rolls of thick asphalt/rubber and heat it up with propane to seal them. You should look into that
Those Are Some Well Round Circles On that Whiteboard even for tracing them and The "Dog House" looks more like a coffin you should've called it "The Coffin". Great Video I Wanted to see this Video
Brain/ bob, depending on how much you want to solve your water problems I’d recommend digging a trench all the way around the bin setup a foot or two below the lowest point in the dog house or leg. Then lay a tile going to a sump or ditch (depending on grade), then backfill with 1x3’s or other large stone to stop water from seeping under the bin facility. Could be done with a tile plow, but you want a wall of stone to help stop the water. Have done this around an entire housing lot that was so wet we couldn’t dig a basement in, came back a week later and ground was dried out, even dried out neighbors basements. Just a thought
Great Vlog, interesting that a storage facility has lasted 50 years with the expansion of farms and combine capacity. I know you have built your new one since, thanks
Good bin tour. Makes more sense now after you explain the age old design of the setup. Would be nice to see it upgraded some year. Just takes lottery winning numbers to do it though.
With that perfect explanation Brian I hit the subscribe button. Thank you very much. Also this is the first one I’ve watched that didn’t have a change of plans in it. 😉
Very well explained. Would it not be better if all your bins were in the same place.? Or is it the distances between farms that make it better to have two sites.? Keep'em coming. Rich UK 🥰🥰
A couple of the local farms have underground tanks for the water to drain into from their underground conveyors and leg. I think he said the bottom is 20 feet and the top of the tank is over 8 feet down so it doesn't freeze the pump.
Hey Brian thanks for the tour. Good too see you learned from the "old" ways. If you found a snake in that out would t it be better too just burn it down?? Anyways thanks for teaching me things
Good tour and explanation, I worked at a co_op and I know of legs in a pit and water issues and other problems with bons and dryers and areas that were tight on space as hou cited who would of thought things would change so much over time, looking forward to more videos.👍👍
Saw that Gleaner S97 on Instagram, looks juicy! Go Redhawks By the way: The Landoll trailer that delivered the Gleaner combine are made in Marysville, Kansas. The Gleaners are made in Hesston, Kansas! Go Kansas!!!
Brian great Drone footage of your facility. Great explanation as always. Have you ever accidently mixed grain? Great vid as always, keep them coming , catchya at the next one. Be safe!!
Good job of explaing how it works, or doesn't work. What is the distance from your other bin sight? Did your bin salesman offer any suggestions in the design or did you enlist a consultant ?
Wow Brian you are so close to 100,000 you can taste it man congratulations on building your page sir will not be long another great video Brian which is squishy’s shack lol 😂
This is still a nice system. It's small and slow for today's throughput, but that system was top notch when it was built.
At the first of the video I felt like I should almost have been taking notes. A good explanation.
Flow chart rules. Expansion is fun..we can dream 😎
The agi suretrack guys are just right down the road from us!
Nice job explaining how the dry cone works. I struggled trying to explain how that works in mine. White board was a good idea!
Thanks Brian enjoyed the tour!
Great job explaining how this all works. Thanks
Thanks for the tour!!!
Can't wait for the Gleaner!! Thanks!
THANX BRIAN.
Enjoyed the tour.
Your videos are always a good source of humor. Got to watch out for those working words. Lol
Nice play by play on the white board
Thank you to everyone in the brown family for the great videos and Bob I can't wait to see you run the gleaner god bless
Brian - great job with the white board I have a much better understanding of why you have the processes that you have. Seems like you do an amazing job managing the resources that you have. Be nice if everyone could build their dream from scratch, but that's just not the way it works. Thks
Thanks for watching
I'd say something sassy but I don't want you to smack my knuckles with that ruler! Lol. Thanks for sharing this with us!
WE GET UP IN THE MORNING PRAYING YOU POSTED A VIDIO! LIKE KIDS ON SATURDAY MORNING...
This reminds me of my granddads setup. The U troughs, the control layout, all of it. It was designed around 1969-70.
Thanks for the tour great oldie but goodie Grain bins such great knowledge of the bins always awesome to watch your channel
I just knew that George had a finger in things working so well. Good job George!
Thanks for the tour.
It would be nice to have the money to rebuild the bins and dryer and legs to all new setup at one place
Great tour! Even tho it's old it's still way better than filling randomized bins with a swing hopper! Awesome to see old facilities still pumpin at Max capacity
Thank you for the videos
Thanks for doing this Brian. This was pretty cool.
Thanks for watching
Thanks for the tour explained for someone who can understand how things work
I knew I recognized that those silos and that mug! My old supervisor turned me on to your channel and this was this first video I watched. Haven't seen you since high school bud. Keep it up! Willy, out.
Is your last name Harris by chance
@@BriansFarmingVideos Certainly is
Awesome man hope you have been doing good man

As always I enjoy your videos
Great video! Regards from Argentina!
Great video thank you for feeding and supplying our country!

That’s a neat facility I go by it a lot on my way home and the way it sits off the road and the red barns around it
I find it difficult not to be impressed. You, BJ and your kids will do great things here.
Thanks for the walk through on the bin site. Stay safe
Surely, if your dad can manage to find and read the comments, he can reply to them.! It really can't be simpler.
Loved it your explanation was very good , great video good job
Really like these tours of different parts of the farm. Great video once again, Brian! 💜
We still farm a 1500 acre farm in Minnesota and have a smaller grain setup than your old bin system. It’s unfortunate we have to sell all of our bins and half of our corn every year especially where we are we need to dry it so we want a new grain system.
Also, great explanation. You did a good job if I can understand what you said.
Great explanation of your bin site. Thanks for taking your time to show us.
That is good for dryer i have old dryer from 1978 not flowing its old good PTO dryer for 8 tons and take 8 hours to dry corn
That was cool, I enjoyed both videos. Times sure have changed.
Thanks for watching
Thank you Brian for a great video keep it up.
Thanks for watching
Nice...getting close
Both grain facilities are really nice! It seems you have a love hate relationship with the older grain bins due to the water. Great video can’t wait to see Bob in the Gleaner combine.
Cool thanks

Thanks, Brian, been waiting for this. Hitting the right hole; nothing better than that!!!
Great video!!!!
That ruler in your hand and tapping the board felt like saying good morning Mr Brown.
Great bin tour and here is your Apple 🍎🍎
Thanks nice work
Hey Brian. You could probably use some kind of roofing material to make the dog house water tight-ish. They do some applications to concrete roofs that come in rolls of thick asphalt/rubber and heat it up with propane to seal them. You should look into that
Great video, Good ideal on cone for the wet corn, never heard of that.
Hello Bob!
Thanks for the tour Brian! are you guys planing a new updates or new bin setup at this site ?
Those Are Some Well Round Circles On that Whiteboard even for tracing them and The "Dog House" looks more like a coffin you should've called it "The Coffin". Great Video I Wanted to see this Video
I've been a subscriber since last fall so maybe you already did a farm history video but if you haven't, I think everyone would like to see one.

“School teacher” Brian with his wooden ruler. 😂👍👍
Very cool video!

With that perfect explanation Brian I hit the subscribe button. Thank you very much. Also this is the first one I’ve watched that didn’t have a change of plans in it. 😉
Thanks... It's nice to have it explained, so now I'll know little more of what your talking about as you go along .
And of course 👍👍if I could 😞
i wish we had centrifical fans
Good job Brian easy to understand
Awesome Video and Much Love from Kentucky!!
Good tour and great explanation!
Would you mind demonstrating the size/volume/weight of a Bushel of corn in a bucket or similar please?
Very nice explanation and tour thanks
Very well explained.
Would it not be better if all your bins were in the same place.? Or is it the distances between farms that make it better to have two sites.?
Keep'em coming.
Rich UK 🥰🥰
Nice thorough tour. The system was a gem when erected 45+ years ago
Good info, thanks 👍👍✌️
Thanks for watching
Awesome video. Thanks for the tour.
Great tour Brian, keep up the great vids.
A couple of the local farms have underground tanks for the water to drain into from their underground conveyors and leg. I think he said the bottom is 20 feet and the top of the tank is over 8 feet down so it doesn't freeze the pump.
Man i couldn't stand tryna clean that dog house!!😩 Thanks for explaining too the NON OG subscribers!💯😂 God Bless and dont stress!!💯🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
Hey Brian thanks for the tour. Good too see you learned from the "old" ways. If you found a snake in that out would t it be better too just burn it down?? Anyways thanks for teaching me things

Can’t wait to see you running that Gleaner Bob 👍🏻
Saw that Gleaner S97 on Instagram, looks juicy!
Go Redhawks
By the way:
The Landoll trailer that delivered the Gleaner combine are made in Marysville, Kansas.
The Gleaners are made in Hesston, Kansas!
Go Kansas!!!
very nice congratulations, I follow you,
Same dryer same year sits at the home place, also still used every fall!!!
Number 1 Wow my first-time
Great videos Brian !
At least you got to use that system long enough to know what you wanted when you built your new facility.
Brian great Drone footage of your facility. Great explanation as always. Have you ever accidently mixed grain? Great vid as always, keep them coming , catchya at the next one. Be safe!!
Good job of explaing how it works, or doesn't work. What is the distance from your other bin sight? Did your bin salesman offer any suggestions in the design or did you enlist a consultant ?
At least you aren't having to deal with snow like Zach and Cole
Great explanation Brian. Even for a Dutch guy its understandable🤣
Love the content
Amazing literally keeping the videos up with ur insta
Very informative! Thanks
How far apart are your two facilities? Thanks for the tour. It was very informative.
5 miles maybe
Wow Brian you are so close to 100,000 you can taste it man congratulations on building your page sir will not be long another great video Brian which is squishy’s shack lol 😂
Hows that new gleaner I can't wait to see video on it
Try using "Rapid Roof" brushed on. It's what we use
Good video Brian very informative!
