AWESOME!!!
Great to see USA manufacturer and their products 🇺🇸. Also Ben, you and your Bride are wonderful with your content 👍😎👍😎
Our pleasure!
Really nice that G.S.I. let ya take the tour. 30 years of being a machinist in Tool and Die trade can relate to the process. The rolling dies are where things happen like magic don’t they. Nice job filming Ben and Molly. Hope you folks received some rain!
No rain yet! The machines are really impressive when a roll of steel goes on the machine, then out the other side is a useable part!
@@iowANFarmer here in West Michigan the rainfall is down about 4” this summer. Spotty areas with more rain and some places totally missing out.
Hi Ben and Molly
My day job is working as a mechanical engineer designing large weldments at a large factory. I loved seeing this video and all the custom machines at GSI. Thanks.
Very cool! Thanks for the comment!
Ben and Molly thank you for putting this together. We wouldn't get to see these places unless you take us there.
Wouldn’t be able to go unless you viewers watched! Thanks!
That is simple work. Not that hard the machine does all the work with computer, all programs preset.
I have a question you live in Iowa why not tour the best Iowa grain bin manufacturer they are in sheffield Iowa.
We have better luck with other companies in our experience. Might be different than some, but we are very happy with GSIs quality of product, so that’s the company I’m choosing to support at this time. Thanks Mark!
We used to test our skills as forklift drivers by putting a nickel flat on the floor and using the fork to flip it onto the fork. It definitely takes some skills. I've seen a couple people do it with a dime. That's hard.
Sounds like quite the trick.
Ben you did a great job be marring Molly
👍👍👍
Excellent tour. Thank you to all. I have driven by for years. Impressive facility.
In addition, large John Deere dealership next door.
Thanks
Thanks for watching and the Comment Kevin!
While in Asumption, did you go to Sloan's John Deere aka DREAM LAND???
We drove past. Talk about a dealer lot!
@@iowANFarmer it's Disney for farmers lol
Hey hello, GSI? That"s my (transport) company name, a little to the east. Across that little ditch, in the Netherlands. Was looking to Welker farms when i saw this logo which got my attention. Interesting! See yah.
Great video Ben and Molly
I cut many, many truckloads of wall and floor stock for GSI, Baughman, and a couple other grain bin guys back in the day. The mill would run their stock all at the same time and then ship it all to us for breakdown processing. We would run for days and days on the same set-up cutting that 20ga and 16ga HDG one big coil after another.
Your Bachelor party in my hometown, thats awesome!!!
What a fantastic video. First time for me to see this process!
Thanks Steve! Glad people are enjoying it!
How did I not know you were in my plant!!! I wish I would've known this!
How cool. Always great videos. Thanks you guys. Always remember we are grateful for you Ben and especially Molly as she supports you on the farm
Molly and Ben I hadn’t even whatched the first 5 minutes and I felt like already needed to thank you for efforts and narration in the video. 👍👍 We had 3 G S I bins back in the 70s 😢 27-24-14 footers. I think dad went to the plant to pick them up. I myself have been around and helped a local bin an feed tank builder on a lot of jobs,my brother works for him since we sold out in 2005. Thanks 🙏 again you two !! Absolutely love your all’s enthusiasm,best of wishes in your future.
I hope to help build my bin a little to see what it takes!
Congratulations on the marriage. You have an amazing wife. Thank you for the tour of GSI. As always, another great educational video. God bless you guys
Best wishes on the life coming to the farm. Thanks 😊.
Really informative. Thank you
Thanks for letting us see how grain bins are made
You bet!
It was the first time I saw that done
Really interesting video! Nice job, Molly! Yeah, you too Ben.
Thanks Mark!
I’m curious what lead to your decision to go with GSI? Quality, price, leadtime?
We have a few other brands of Bin, GSI has always been top quality, that’s what won my investment.
There won't always be a Chris! You know that happy wife thing - To a point.
YEE YEE
Brings back a lot of fond memories. HDGCQ is fun stuff to cut.
Great comments Russell!
Amazing tour , wow what an operation , safety first , well explained , stay safe , enjoy. Remarkable !!
Thanks Robert!
Thanks for the interesting tour, and thank you GSI👍🚜🚜👨🌾
👍👍👍
Hello!
Hello!
@@iowANFarmer 👌
Good tour , I grew up in Assumption and went to school with the family that started GSI.
That’s a really cool fact!
I love Molly's shirt.
She does too. Only one she wears
It is Hot Dipped Galvanized over Cold Rolled commercial quality steel. Our company was one of the leading slitting warehouses in the Chicago market. We also did some corrugating.
I worked at Weirton STeel Corp for 32 years. I was in their sheet mill for a few years, we could run 54 inch wide plate or slit it to customer spec's
@@jimdebarr5616 I worked at 2 of the leading steel service centers in the Chicago District. We had 60" & 72", 50,000# slitters that would handle .015 thru .250. Sheet lines to match. Shears, flamecutters, rollformers, perforating presses, and corrugators.
This is great thank you for making a video!!! Love manufacturing tours!!! Keep up the great work you guys
You bet! Thanks for the continued support!
Lol.....I've been working for GSI going on 7 yrs and never been in the plant...
Now you have seen the inside!
Awesome video and company
👍👍👍
We bought our first GSI bin in 1975. It held 10,000 bushels and had a bin drier. We filled it, dried the corn, called the grain elevator. They sent their semi trucks to haul the corn to the elevator. We filled the bin again, dried the corn and called for the semi’s. We did this until we were done harvesting.
Great stuff 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks James
Great video good to see something getting built in the USA 🇺🇸
🇺🇸
Awesome love this kind of video s
Also is GSI an Agco company?
Yes
It is always a great video when you and Molly are together.
Thanks Joe!
Interesting to watch,thanks
You bet! Thanks Marc
Ben you definitely married up👍😁
👍👍👍

Ben excellent video work thanks for making time to do this and Ben you must be one real excellent man how you have your daughter Molly help in the videos you sir are a great man
Thanks! Missed the mark a little there. Molly is most definitely my wife.
@@iowANFarmer yes sir I know just hope Molly can see this and have a smile on her face keep her happy
You never fail to impress, Ben. Great job.
Thanks Byron
Congrats you two
Thanks David!
Ben buddy you need to get some wireless microphones so we can hear what you and are saying
Definitely do, part of YouTubing is that I’m not a professional videographer, so when I get put into other situations, I don’t always know how it will turn out.
Very cool video, congrats yenz two . Live long and prosper.
Yenz ????? Alright "Gumband"
Awesome!
Very Very interesting. Thank You
Thanks for watching!
That was very grainy!
Awesome!
What day you going to the farm progress show?
Yes, probably the 30th
Okay thanks !
GSI is without a doubt the best grain bin manufacturer out there, but that's probably because I'm biased as I grew up in the area. I'm sure a visit was made to Sloan Implement's flagship store right next door to GSI's factory.
Awesome vid👍I was surprised with not just amount of trucks delivering but straight to job site. My question would be with amount of product GSI is delivering where do they find room place new innovation products on the line?
Interesting, no hard hats.
Hard hats when there is stuff overhead.
Most excellent video. Thank you for sharing your tour. I had no idea how they did that. I have enjoyed everyone of your videos. Thank you!
Congrats to you both. Looked like a great wedding. Many happy years ahead.
I love watching factories!!
👍👍👍
@@iowANFarmer just like our generational family farmers, the factories that WEREN’T shipped to China thanks to the Chamber of Commerce, WEF, big corporation overlords, & our kleptocratic govt (as Mike Rowe’s show says) is “How America Works”. Made in 🇺🇸is always a better quality product! Btw, ColeTheCornstar THOUGHT he was buying GSI products via a building contractor, it was a major scam. Now they’re in court & don’t have a working bin site. Scamming the ppl who feed our country is absolutely disgusting.
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Really enjoyed you showing what is all involved in making agricultural products. Farming creates a lot of jobs of dedicated employees and engineering. It just goes to show what is all involved away from the farm to bring it to the farm. Thanks for all your great videos.
Great Comment 👍👍👍
Thank you for this great tour!
I’m SURE GSI is having an extremely busy year, there’re a LOT of bins in scrap piles this year from tornados, esp Minnesota. Seems like storms hit at least one state hard every year. Iowa took a hard hit a couple years back. I hope the scrap price is up.
The factory was sure busy!
Great tour and video! It is always interesting to see how things are made. Thanks for taking the time to share the plant tour. Congrats on your recent wedding.....
👍👍 Thanks!
