What to do, purchase grain bins now or a bagger don't have one

Lease bins.

Lots of BTOs around here use baggers
because their landlords don't have bins
for them to use or rent. Then they
gotta get it out asap before the deer
and ravens and such start in on it. Or
it rots. Gotta get er out!!

They have their place but if storing the
production on your owned land is a
problem every year, its a short term
solution to a long term problem. Unless
you have short term plans......

Well grain pile worked well this year. Dry ground. No six inch rain event. Grain on pile very dry. I have seen grain piles take on six inches of sideways rain and that's not good.

Was on a combine crew for a neighbor a
few years back. We were in fields of
heavy oats doing well over 100 bu/ac. 4
big JD combines, 2 maxed out chaser bins
with a grain bagger in the same field
that barely shut off.

The 4 combines never stopped. Trucking
that much product away not even remotely
possible.

The BTO' s around here have their employees
cleanup the bags in the winter and haul it into
their elevators. This way the bags are cleaned up
quicker. The nice thing is it's done on frozen
roads. Way less damage to the roads at harvest
and in spring.
