Sometimes, a saying becomes a cliché for a reason… because there’s truth behind it. With the many years that we here at FS Construction Services have spent working with farmers on everything from grain system upgrades to new storage solutions, there is one well-worn phrase that has always held true: time is money.
Everything a farmer does, from sowing to harvesting and from storing to selling, is dictated by time. Time and weather, however, are two things that will always live outside of our control.
Luckily, there are some things that we can control to help farmers get the most out of their harvest. This was the case for a recent client of ours, who decided to make some critical grain system upgrades.
Efficient Grain System Upgrades
Our client was looking for a way to save time (and money). Nathan Koester and his team worked with them to marry their desire for efficiency with the right equipment and grain system upgrades.
These upgrades included a GSI receiving pit with a capacity of 7,500 bushels per hour. That pit connects to a wet tank through a 12” Sukup double run. This solution makes it possible for the client to quickly dump their yield and get back out to the field as fast as possible.
When it comes to harvest season, those extra minutes add up over time. A change that seems to result in modest time savings at first can become a significant advantage when it’s all said and done.
In the end, this project will last. Our team delivered a solution that will save time for years and years to come.
