TESTIMONIAL

“After we sent over the designs, Thorburns quoted for the project quickly and we were able to progress smoothly towards the build phase. Once the foundations were complete and other civil work planned, the shed was constructed in a decent timeframe. The engineers and operators were good to have on site and the quality of the work is very good. The buildings and installations are true to the design function and the end result is that we now have grain storage, drying and handling facilities which should make harvests more manageable and flexible, we'll also have the ability to contract dry grain, and we hope we have future-proofed our operation for the next few decades. I would recommend Thorburn Group for others planning similar projects.”

FAQS - Grain Stores

Where should my Grain Store be built?

Your Grain Store should be away from anything that could potentially contaminate your crop, but easily accessible to large transportation such as forklifts and wagons. This will make your life much easier come harvest. Think about the set-up of your farm, and to help you decide figure out where would make most logical sense for your farm to place the grain store. 

What size should my grain store be? 

The size your Grain Store should be really depends on the size of your farm. We recommend our farmers consider the future plans of their farm before committing to a new Grain Store. This will help ensure the building they are investing in will accommodate the volume of crop they’re harvesting not just next year but for the next decade.

What should you think about before building a Grain Store? 

Just like with any Farm Building, there are a number of things you should consider before building a Grain Store, but the most important factors are: 

• What kind of Crops you harvest? 
• What handling system will you want to install? 
• What kind of floor would you like? 
• How high will you require the doors and internal height to be? 
• What does the future of your farm look like?  

Can you design a full handling system for my Grain Store? 

Of course, we can design a full grain handling system which will make your life easier during harvest. You can learn all about our Grain Handling options here.

What are the benefits of a Grain Store? 

There are so many different benefits to a Grain Store, however the overarching positive is that it will help you maximise profits and get the best return on investment. This is because the store protects your grain until you are ready to sell, when the price is the best. Without a dedicated Store you would have to sell straight after cutting and drying, when everyone else is already selling meaning there is less demand and a smaller return.

Other benefits include protecting your grain from the elements, bespoke designs to suit your requirements and fit to match your farm, as well as using a steel frame to ensure your building lasts for decades to come.
