"Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant" -Robert Louis Stevenson
so many memories come back to me with you videos. My uncle had a massive set up like this (prob just think that cuz i was a kid and it all was huge to me) i wana say the center tower was like 250Ft and climbing that as a 12year old was crazy haha
AWESOME! I wanted a more detailed overview of your system. I do have several questions for you when you have time to answer. (1) What is your total capacity? (2) Do your bins have stirrers and/or powersweeps? (3) Do you empty your bins out every year and clean them out? (4) Do you do anything with all the corn residue (mostly the red chaff)?
Be safe. Good luck. Prayers to all farmers!
thr8061 Our total storage right now is around 250,000 bushels (some of that is beans right now). None of our bins have stirrers but they all have powers weeps in them. Most of our bins usually get emptied every year, but often times we do have some carryover bushels. we do shovel and sweep the bottoms clean whenever we empty them. We also move our carryover grains from one bin to another just to ensure the quality of it (grain sitting tight for too long has more tendency to start spoiling). Usually the red chaffe gets shoveled into a loader bucket and spread back into the fields. Sometimes someone will use the corn fines for feeding (hobby pigs, chickens, etc.)
i love at the end of harvest when its raining and all the corn is in the dry
We wish a healthy, peaciful and happy new year for you . Best Regards AYKUT COSKUN
Amazing set up here! Alot bigger than what we run
That's one big popcorn maker (if the party gets good enough, of course.)
How long does it take to dry corn? How do you stop rain from getting in the dump bins?
I was just watching through your videos and noticed you get over-fillage on your silos, have you ever thought about putting in a video camera in each bin connected to a monitor with wifi in your control booth.
Whats the dimensions of the center bins and the outside bins?
How many bushel/per hour leg is it? Good video btw.
I've been watching for over a year, now and had always wondered how your system works. Very informational! Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Millennial Farmer!

What is the pink dust from?
Looks like a DeHavallen of Canada, DHC-6 Twin Otter to me, 5:02
They have Pratt & Whitney, PT-6 turbo prop engines on them and were Still used as commuters back then to out of the way airports, they are Best used out in the Bush as they are a very good STOL (short take off & landing) aircraft. 😎👍✅
This may be a dumb question, but why don't the dump pits fill with water when it rains?
Nice set up!
You were sent back. Do you have any kind of pager to tell you in field that it has shut down? Also thinking back many years ago when a propane pipe had issue. And Farmington,il terminal was hauling by take truck all the way to keep you supply one fall. Trucks setting to load several hours. Was a wet year.
Very insightful video! Thanks for sharing!
Hey Zach, pipefitter by trade but grew up on a small farm down by St James, MN. Do you have frequency drives on your plenum fans? I know a lot of the hvac world is going to that and saving big dollars by utilizing the variable speed for the larger motors. Let me know I’m interested in a more in depth look at how the controls work on your setup. Keep the videos comin!
How can someone get in touch with you.l am interested in the whole farming process
I run a brock tower dryer at an ethanol plant. Were starting to get wet corn now. Our dryer operates very similar to yours but just in a larger capacity. We dry about 6000 bushels an hour at full capacity
Hi let me know what will happen in bins
thanks for teaching me. I learned a lot.
Good video
Are dryer wasn't to lucky as yours it caught on fire tonight and kfd had to come put it out it was taller than the bin hight
You have a huge nice setup, but I have you farm 2,500, aren't those bins and truck a little big for that operation?
Joel Ostmo grain storage has been one of our best returns on investment so we benefit quite a bit from it. We also haul most of our corn about 40 miles away, so we need the trucks to do that efficiently.
Anyone know if this can be utilized for cannabis ?
Very nice setup.
That’s more advanced than my location elevator
That's a nice setup you have there.
Wow. I assume you built that system all at one time
First class
Throwback!
Great explanatory video.
what's bushels per hour on the vac system off the dryer Zac
Great video! Keep it up
Do you only dry your corn or can other farms contract with you? Seems like a large expenditure for just one farm.
Why do you use an air pressure system to move the grain exiting the dryer to the storage bins
This probably won't mean as much to anyone else, but I was pleased to see the name Sukup on the drier, simply because in my book on the history of corn, Midwest Maize, I wrote about Eugene Sukup and the invention of the processing system. So kind of like seeing an old friend for me. (And always enjoy your presentations on farming technology.)
you guys have a nice setup
Thanks - really great explanation of a modern pit / leg / dryer / bin system. I'm interested in wooden grain elevators and understand how they work pretty well. This is a good contrast.
Great vid guys Smile More God Bless stay safe guys 👍
We don't have grain driers in Texas so it's nice to see what you're doing up there. That's a big wet storage bin, I bet you can do a lot of acres in a day.
TwoHappyChildrenFarm We try to get 100 acres/day but usually we are closer to 80. A really good day is about 120
Thanks. With your yields up there, that is pretty amazing.
Well done MN. You have a talent for explaining complex things simply and clearly. I grew up old-school where the only moisture control we had was playing the weather cards and hustling just before the rain. Keep it up & Congrats!
Sounds like small rocks in the line it is corn for the what it sounds like.
Nice system thanks for sharing
Really nice set up!

Is there such a thing of corn being too dry coming in off the farm field on a real dry Harvest?
Yes, but in west central MN I have never seen that happen. If it's too dry it shatters a lot and it gets damaged.
Nice being from New York I never see stuff like this so this was an awesome vid for me thanks
What is inside the dryer?
3:39
Do you ever have issues with plugging in the air blowing lines? I have never seen that pretty cool.
Noel Hohberger We have plugged them a few times, always when we're trying to feed the corn through too fast. We have also blown the pipe collars apart twice but since we started supporting the pipes better we haven't had that issue for a few years.
Great job explaining how the grain bin site works
what the dimensions on your wet bin?
joe bob It holds about 8,000. I think it's maybe a 24 foot?
Excellent tutorial. Just wondering if all farmers that grow and harvest corn have this same set up or is you a bit more advance because of the clients you sell too?
How many acres are you farming to have a operation like that
Josh Smith 2,500
MN Millennial Farmer only 2,500acres????
Just curious but seems like a large investment for 2,500. Do you also dry out for others?
I over filled a bin this year.... felt like an idiot lol nice set up, so looking at the air system
Thanks for making this video for us.
Yeah we have a Convay-Air system on our Ibec drier.
Very educational, easy to understand, Minnesota style! ;-D Good luck in future. Go Vikes!
Interesting video, well done.
great farmer

Can you maybe do a tour thru your sheds?
Jaco Groothof I
Can you dry pop corn in that rig?

Is your wet corn bin bottom cone or flat and need to powersweep every few days ? Also where did you get them power hopper bottom gate openers and the price of them ? I'm getting lazy.. lol
JGM It's a flat bottom. We empty it completely every week-10 days if the corn is really wet. at 22% it stays on the bottom for a while with no problems. The electric hopper bottoms are an add on kit but I forget how much they cost...
JGM There are several after market companies that make kits for them. A local trailer dealer should be able to help you out.
How do yu like the air system? I am in Owatonna MN and we run a wet and dry leg with drop tubes to all the bins. I was told the air system is slower but your dryer is large as mine and it must flow enough to keep up with the dryer. Thanks just saw your vids yesterday and I really enjoy them.
Allen Yule We love it. When we have dry corn we do wish it was faster though. It's the 6" system also. You probably typically have drier corn than we do so you may want to check into the speed of it. It goes faster when we're blowing into the bins that are closer to the motor.
I am picking corn generally 18-20% and we deffinetly dry ours to the 15% mark. Are you on 3 phase power? We are on single phase and have a phase converter to get three phase. It is the kink in our setup.
