A dealer for grain storage and drying systems says farmers need to plan far in advance of building new facilities.
Chad Droessler with Schultz’s Interstate Ag in Monroe, Wisconsin says, “Right now, things are looking a year, a year plus out.”
Droessler tells Brownfield more and more farmers want to have their grain stored at home because of rising prices at the cooperatives and commercial elevators. “If you look at what you’re paying in storage costs to haul it over to the elevator and bring that money home in the check, it will in five to seven or ten years pay back in money that’s already yours.
