When I was a kid in the 1960's Funks seed corn company in Mclean co, IL told us we were loosing the phantom yield you are taking about and recommended harvesting at 25%.
Great setup , amazing talent discussion of what it's all about ! This gentleman knows his product , very interesting to listen & learn ! Congratulations very well done , thank you !!
Very interesting set up. There is no end to the improvements and money that can be invested in the modern farm. I hope you can use some of these ideas on your farm soon.
Ben you were close to my area . I have actually delivered fuel to that Wallys gas station. That thing is huge. They built one in Fenton, MO. I think they are trying to be the Buckees of the north. Ben, I really enjoy watching your videos. You you are still small and not really trying to push a lot of things on to us viewers to buy and just be yourself. I do understand paid partners help with projects along the way.
I like what Larson's have on their new bin with gravity unload into drag conveyor so only need to run unload auger when bin is almost empty save on electricity.
Definitely an interesting video we’ve been talking about putting up bins for a while and kicking around ideas on brands and who to go with and after watching this and seeing you talk to him he knows his stuff definitely will look at gsi first
Nice set up. The only thing I would have added to each bin is a gravity side dump for quick semi load out. Of course the long drag they have needs to be on the other side to make room for trucks loading against the bins,,or maybe put the unloading shoots on the other side..
The best part of the video was you asking the tough question about it paying it self off and how long would it take to recover the money on a bin set up. The Rep was a little defensive and not sure actually how to answer 😂. Great video Ben !!
Nice video. Takes me back to 15 year old me sitting on a platform with a whistle for loading trucks at the local CO-OP. $3.40 and hour and working looooong days.
Very nice bin site. It's too bad that other Iowa farmtuber ended up with such a poor install crew. GSI can make a great product, but a poor install makes a bad bin site.
Looks very,very expensive for the amount of bushels stored. "A bit of noise" with the axle fans is a understatement I've two 1220 axle gsi's they are LOUD...lol. The reclaim system and overhead hopper = lots of $$$$$ you'll never get a roi on that unless your running 500,000-1,000,0000 bushel a year 10'' -12'' unloads and a truck auger easy fast and cheap....
Great video. Pontiac is my hometown and living here again.

Still a good assumption today. Something they will be testingz

Glad you enjoyed it!
Enjoyed watching the video Ben 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Very interesting video, yep that’s VERY good ground in that area
It sure is
Very interesting

That's the plan!

Great video Ben!
Glad you enjoyed it
Lots of money there but you got to have any for going to have a big farm we need to have storage
Now we pray the rain keeps up to be able to fill those bins.
Thanks for sharing. I drive by that place and was wondering what it was.👍👍✌️
Awesome video thanks for sharing
Very nice setup.
Glad you think so!

The gravity unloads is a nice feature to consider

Thank you!
Here in central Ky we have BOURBON DEMAND 🌽🌽🍾$$. THANKS BEN GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!
Do they have a strong basis?
Very nice!
You guys did a great job there 👍👍👍
Nice video. Takes me back to 15 year old me sitting on a platform with a whistle for loading trucks at the local CO-OP. $3.40 and hour and working looooong days.
And dusty days
First thumb up from West Michigan
I built a set of 4 58 foot beens with on A 10 foot by 8 tunnel to a converee
14:48 bin site builders never completely finish. Im sure they moved on to the next one. Cole The Cornstar has issues with his new bin site.
This one is finished ✅
Great job. But how about grain cleaners? Do you clean the grain before or after the dryer ?
This place is in my backyard and didn’t know it was even there.
Now you do!
My mother in law worked and retired from AGCO in Hesston Kansas
Neat!
Phantom Loss, The Angel's Share...
Much nicer than Cole the cornstar facility.
Very nice bin site. It's too bad that other Iowa farmtuber ended up with such a poor install crew. GSI can make a great product, but a poor install makes a bad bin site.

Hello!

This is a research setup
any idea the cost of this set up?
why such small bins?
Is the sky really smokey there? Or is it just overcast / rain clouds?
Just a low clouds first thing in the morning. It was probably 6:30
I'm not trying to be a jerk. The corn maze is way cooler than the grain set up.
Corn Maze coming to a PTI farm next year
👍👍❤
Wait so you are telling me the average farmer doesn’t need a 10, 10 million bushel bins with a rail line and a dozen grain barges to be successful?
