The wife went by the ethanol plant we take Sons' corn to last week and said they had a mess. We went out for dinner yesterday and went by it and will have to agree--they probably have it 9/10s empty and it held 3,000,000 bu. They were already short a 300,000 bu. bin because of the wind storm last Summer and now this. When they were filling it they were having trouble getting it full for the corn wouldn't slide to the outside because of all the dirt in it from the down corn--that is what the grain merchandiser told me last fall.
The 300,000 bu. bin caved in.
What 90 mph wind does
When I took a load the 10th or Nov. they were trying to cover it in the rain and the wind came up and turned the tarp into a big sail!
Had a telehandler knocking the corn down and a loader putting it in a grain cart then into the semi.
Had 3 big rains on it before they got it clear full
Last year they got it full with no rain and the price doubled so the pile worked good--Not this year! Too Bad
