In this episode of XtremeAg’s Cutting The Curve, host Damian Mason is joined by Randy Coffee and Trevor Van Loo of Superior Grain Equipment to explore the economics and strategy behind expanding or upgrading on-farm grain systems. They address the growing need for storage driven by increasing yields and limited commercial capacity, even amid low commodity prices. The discussion highlights opportunities to offset investment costs through USDA and FSA loan programs, energy efficiency grants, and smart system design. Efficiency gains from faster unloading, labor reduction, and optimized harvest timing are emphasized. The episode also identifies common pitfalls—such as undersized dryers, sentimental retention of outdated bins, and poor site layout—and provides guidance on planning scalable, future-ready infrastructure. Farmers are encouraged to approach grain system design as a long-term capital investment that pays off in operational efficiency and harvest flexibility.
