A pair of University of Nebraska-Lincoln students developed a tool that would eliminate the need for farmers to enter grain bins.
Ben Johnson helped create the Grain Weevil – a robot designed to maintain and redistribute grain inside a bin. “We’re helping with the flow of the grain when you’re taking grain out or putting it in, leveling the bin, taking measurements and really start to finish managing the grain while it’s in the bin so the farmer doesn’t have to,” Johnson says.
