Retrofitting a Grain Bin for Ear Corn Storage

- This bin hasn't been properly used for a while. I have been collecting flooring parts since 2018 and am glad to finally finish this monster transformation. It's now like a corn crib, but more enclosed.
I can safely say it was a lot more fun watching this than you had doing it. Awesome job!
I am really enjoying seeing you make improvements to the farm to make it more functional in the direction you are taking it.
Standing ovation on your dedication to that project. I shook my head a few times watching but the end product is top level. Well done 👍
It was a project with plenty of previous generations bad engineering to overcome.
I thought the exact same thing🤔🤔. I still have a couple concerns, but I'm sure my concerns are not valid. 🤷🤷
This is a very cool build.
I appreciate you sharing. Looking forward to seeing some ears in the bin.
I have a video of that coming.
Great idea... gonna have a fan on it to blow air up thru the ear corn to keep it in shape? It'll be interesting to see how you get it started emptying and how well it'll handle emptying out. Figure you'll be in there with a scoop quite a bit helping it along and removing floor covers as needed, eh?
That was absolutely fantastic! Excellent video and what a great job! That's such an improvement for long term operations. 🇨🇦👍
My favorite farming you tube channel. Goderich ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Great video Jacob. Lot of hard work but will make your harvest so much better.
Wow what is transformation. I bet it feels good to see your plans come together
I admire your determination Jacob.
Boehm Farm Construction to the rescue 👍👍Nice Job Jacob, it’s sure is easier when you have good help.
I really like how you think outside the Box👍👍✌️
I saw what you started with it definitely is turning around looking good there Jake and Brennen
That was quite a project- nice work!
Great job Jacob. Keep it up
Great vlog The music was great. Good I D with the bin
I love how it's always I don't want to have to "sit there" and.... I hear it every time he says it and it makes me laugh.
Quite the project, looks great 👍
Congratulations ! Amazing work !
Well done . Looking forward to more farming action. Good stuff..
wow that was quite a project ..great video
That was a lot of hard work. Nicely done!
Nice work! I thought about doing something like that back in my dairy farming days when I did ear corn. Hope you don’t have too much trouble with the corn bridging instead of flowing into the elevator.
Nice job
That was quite the project.I hope it works well for you.
Good video.
Impressive. That was awesome. Great content.
Looks great Jacob 👍 Wanna come to Wisconsin and help me move my corn crib? 😂
Good job Josef, like it👌👌👌
That museum, I think it was Nave and Cole did video through it.
Nice job Jacob
I still have my Little Giant elevator.
hiding the ear corn from the neighbors lol
You are amazing.
Nice video
Jacob I’m might be wrong but you said ear corn in this bin you got the right idea but your conveyor might not be wide enough for the ear to fall into it we used and 25 inch wide hay grain elevator so when the bin fills up it will fall into it with out caving out just saying I hope you’re plan works well you put a lot of hard work into it keep smiling
I thought about using one of the new idea elevators I bought, for the floor. The little aluminum won out because of ease to maneuver into place and the modifications were simpler. Also, I won't have to worry about carrying more corn than whatever elevator is outside can handle.
Do you realize you placed the concrete blocks on their weak side? They have their strength with the holes running vertical. They're more apt to collapse under weight the way you placed them.
It's how the Brock manual says to place them to hinder air flow the least. I'm not wild about the blocks, but I like that they can't rust.
what is going to keep the pieces covering the elevator in place? Would be concerned with ear corn falling a distance, that it will bounce them all over the place
I thought so too, but they stayed in place through the first load.
@@boehmfarm4276 watching the next video, I saw that too. Hopefully you won't have any issues.
Cut you a mud flap to put in did the bin to close the hole and it aloe the paddle to still come by it
That's a good idea. I haven't thought about that.
Awesomeness
Does it work?
So whatvis your plan to prevent the silage from eating the sides out. Silage will rot the metal fast.
It's for ear corn not silage...
Do you need another one of those i have one about 2 hours from you
Harvest handlers? Absolutely
Has this farm been in the family for a long time?
No, dad is first generation.
@@boehmfarm4276 thanks for the reply. That’s really cool that you guys started like this. Good luck to you.
Are you thinking that the bin full of ear corn is going to flow out of that tiny hole in the side?
I have to do something for a door above the elevator for starting the unload process.
Put a half a plastic drum over the electric motor.
I have an aluminum soup pot that came with one of the harvest handlers.
How do you open the conveyor up with he ear corn in there? Are you able to slide the covers as needed?
The covers are just laying there. I still have to workout a door above the elevator for starting a full bin.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see any way that ear corn will "flow" out of the bin. There could be a lot of weight on the elevator, but more likely, the ear corn will be jammed up against itself and never even make it to the elevator. I guess time will tell.
The covers over the elevator will keep corn off the elevator. I'll start from one side and work my way across unloading.
@@boehmfarm4276 Here's the comment I've been looking for. If you fill the bin enough to cover the door,how will you get to the elevator inside to get started removing corn? If you leave the first 10 or 12 inches open,you might possibly have a log jam OR no flow, with no way to assist the flow. I'm not trying to be difficult,just imagining it was me doing this.AND thanks for doing this! I wanted to do this as a kid,but the scoop shovel always won out.
What happens when the corn stops flowing out the conveyor?
Depends on the reason why.
How many bushels do think it will hold looks good
Probably a solid 3000 bushel of ear corn.
Go Hogs!! ?
is that story about whats his name coming soon? i tried to watch his channel but found him to be to "f" up
Still waiting on some legal stuff to go through.
@@boehmfarm4276 thanx Jacob enjoy watching your vids
Will the drag hold up under that much weight what do you think Jacob?
Shouldn't be much weight on it at all with the covers.
concrete blocks have little strength on there side, your floor might collapse
This is how the Brock manual lays it out.
There, their, they're.
@@anderleof Probably should add "thair" to the list. It'll happen someday.
How old is that bin?
1968.
@@boehmfarm4276 oh ok 👍
Tell all the hunters to lay down their guns
Tell 'em that the tiger needs a little bit of love
Let 'em run the jungle, let 'em roam their land
Then stand back and marvel, "What a beautiful cat"
'Cause I saw a tiger
Now I understand
I saw a tiger, and the tiger saw a man... 🐯
I saw what you started with it definitely is turning around looking good there Jake and Brennen
