Research Report: Grain Silos (August 2022)

Unlike a piece of farm machinery that can be traded in and upgraded, silos are generally a permanent installation so need to be selected carefully. Given the capital outlay required for grain storage, silo selection is critical.

Kondinin Group Researchers

Led by Ben White, Chris Warrick and Alex Conway, and assisted by Mark Saunders and Josh Giumelli, over 60 silos from a wide range of manufacturers were tested in compiling this report. It is essential reading for anyone looking at purchasing a silo.
