How you going to dry your shell corn? You can store crops without a fan until June. After that, it gets dicey _some_ years. I'd sure start with a bigger bin, and put in a floor - if you are doing corn. You might wish to store your corn longer. Oats will store a long time with no air, and beans you should _not_ be keeping longer than June anyhow, so those crops wouldn't matter. The big expense of a bin is thew concrete. New bins cost a lot, used ones sell cheap, but take a lot of work. I moved a 1500bu on the place on the back of a hayrack. I got 2 govt bins as mentioned above from the farm next door, still had to dismantle 2 rings each to get them under the power lines. So, you plan to end up with 3 bins, small for oats (or over-flow from other crops), medium for beans, and a bigger one for corn. I'd scour the neighborhood for good used small bins. You can't afford to buy a new one under 10,000bu. You need to explain your drying plan for the corn be4 any thoughts on what the big bin should be. Picking 40 acres or less is _far_ cheaper in the long run considering drying, the equipment is cheap, only need cribs & they sell for $5 at auction sales. It is slower tho. Got any old feeding platforms or other concrete you can set a bin/ crib on? --->Paul
