The "D" word...

Hopper bins. My back reminds me how stupid I was when I was young. Worked hard emptying old wooden bins. Digging grain out of corners. Lots of shovelling in large diameter flat bottoms too. Bin sweeps should be sold with respirators. Grain Vac hoses are heavy too but at least your not stooped and twisting like shovelling.....and no dust.

.....hopper bottoms. Or grain bags?

Isn't harvest the best time to have a drought?

Correct the good old days of shoveling.
Many new giant flat bottoms going up.
Must be young fellows or employees ..
As we are older hopper bins..
Rather move the swing auger than own a shovel.

You must be old if you had to shovel out corners!

Yup.
Corners..no bin sweep..wires in old Square bins that held 1000 bushels.
And steel shovels not aluminum.
We missed the round plywood bin craze..

Oh I forgot about the wires! Always hit my head on them 🤕
