Protect Stored Grain

Grain bin monitoring can help ensure the quality of your crop.

For most farmers, a grain bin can last 30 years or more, making their storage setup a lower priority than some of the day-to-day operations. In-bin monitoring is designed to keep farmers up-to-date on their grain, while maintaining peace of mind.

Monitoring

In-bin monitoring systems allow farmers to manage their grain without having to go into the bins. “Once you put that grain in the bin, it should be monitored,” said Scott McKernan, a senior vice president who oversees AGI’s U.S. farm opera- tions. “If you’re a farmer, it’s your checking account.”

AGI’s BinManager automated system is a grain manage- ment system that uses digital sensor technology to monitor and manage in-bin grain condition and quality. Designed to be compatible with any grain bin, the system mounts on top of the bin, with sensor cables located inside the perimeter and in the center of the bin. Those cables, with sensors spaced 2 feet apart, provide the most accurate temperature, moisture, and inventory monitoring possible.
