Grain Storage: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers for farmers comparing grain storage suppliers and dealers on FarmPages.
How do I find a grain bin dealer near me in Saskatchewan?
Start with the Grain Storage listings on FarmPages and shortlist suppliers whose location and service area cover your yard. Saskatchewan has the largest group of listed grain storage companies, so most farms can find two or three dealers within a reasonable drive. Call each one, ask about delivery, erection crews and harvest-season service, and compare written quotes on the same bin size and package.
What should I ask a grain storage supplier before buying bins?
Ask for the capacity in bushels for your main crop, the floor type, sidewall gauge and stiffening, and the aeration fan size and airflow per bushel. Confirm whether the price includes freight, the concrete pad, assembly, electrical and temperature cables, and who handles warranty claims. Also ask about lead times, since spring and summer build slots tend to fill up before harvest.
Do grain bin suppliers handle installation and concrete?
Many grain bin dealers run their own erection crews, and some also pour pads or work with a regular concrete contractor; others supply the bin package only. Ask each supplier exactly what the quote covers: site prep, pad and anchor bolts, assembly, aeration, unload system and wiring. If several contractors are involved, get warranty responsibility in writing before the job starts.
Should I buy hopper-bottom or flat-bottom grain bins?
Hopper-bottom bins empty by gravity and clean out completely, which suits grain you move often, seed and specialty crops. Flat-bottom bins on concrete usually cost less per bushel at larger sizes but need a sweep auger and take longer to empty. Many Prairie yards run both. Ask listed suppliers to quote each option at the same capacity so the cost comparison is fair.
