9-15-20 corn pile

[@sabretom7594]

LOL.....Here I was thinking there was a shortage of corn pile experts. Turns out we have a glut.

[@mcleodfarmer5208]

No kidding, all the arm chair quarterbacks telling an obviously successful company all the things that they are doing wrong.

[@ryanv3751]

Need to dump those bottom dumps from an elevated position...keep them moving through there instead of one or two at a time then clean up

[@davidcurry4433]

Totally agree, what a pathetic performance, millions of $$$$$ of machinery but no money for a cheap elevated platform for dumping from..

[@timmckinley8664]

Maybe a snow blade, for cleaning up parking lots, to push it into a pile quicker.

[@jefflanduyt6750]

I am completely con fused right now. Are they cracking the corn before they pile it? Is this a feed lot or ethanol plant?

[@kylerayk]

Portable truck scale to weigh each load, drive over dump feeding a gravel pit stacker conveyor and you could eliminate 10 positions.

[@sirwoody1sirwoody154]

this must be a government run outfit . move it that many time !!!

[@neilramseyer5348]

Looks like they are grinding it for high moisture corn.

[@kingeky]

Why don't they use drive over conveyors to feed the grinders instead of dumping it on the ground?

[@SmithFarmTilton]

that would make too much sense

[@toby0395]

Would take longer to unload that way, dumped on the ground like that they can push it into a pile and keep trucks moving, a conveyor would take twice as long per truck

[@butlerdawgs78]

This might be dumb, but doesn't the grinded corn get ruined out in the weather?

[@chadsimmons6347]

Will my cornbread taste like tractor-tires? I'll just pretend it's pepper in the mix.

[@landentrigg9786]

They will cover the whole pile of corn with a AG approved tarp to keep the water and the heat from ruining the corn

[@TheMr9fingers]

Surprised they don't use a unload conveyor right to the grinder instead of droppi g it on the ground

[@elmarrb1973]

I can't begin to imagine what happens if one of those tractors blows a hydraulic line up on top of the pile. Hot oil seeping all the way down to the concrete...

[@dshogan6174]

They use vegetable oil in equipment that works near it. Same thing for sensitive streams

[@mudpuppy318]

@@dshogan6174 they are "supposed" to yes.. lol

[@johanasvik3294]

Hydraulic oil is not that bad, but engine coolant is. But might be nothing else than water is needed in those parts of the world..😇

[@chadgronsten9023]

The odds of that happening are slim. If a little hydraulic oil get on things it no big deal. The parts per million are so small that it won’t affect anything. It costs over a grand to fill those tractors with hydraulic oil. One would get shut down asap if there was a big leak. All those people working together keep an eye out for that kinda thing.

[@paulszabo8222]

Stupid question but what happens when it rains? Does the corn get damaged? Maybe just the very outside layer gets discarded?

Gets tarpped

Either dairy or feed lot.

[@rhysthomas1301]

Impressed at the inefficiency?

[@NTM2009]

Why not just push it to the pile after truck dump it. Why feed it through the other two machines first

[@Dontworryboutit315]

The grinders crack it so the cows can digest it easier and absorb all the nutrients

[@joescheller6680]

they are rolling the corn to crack the kernals better effieciency in the feed

[@buckeyefarmboy107]

I would think a dump trailer would save a lot of loader time instead of those hopper bottom trailers dragging it out all over the concrete

[@mythreesonsfarms]

You don't have to have hydraulics with hopper bottom.

[@edselcross9536]

@@mythreesonsfarms bottom dumps run on air. Yes, bottoms would have run in and out in a fraction of the time put it a lot closer.

[@aaronhayden1780]

Farm I work at has actual sole age trucks and it works way better. Back right to the pile and dump and the packer tractors push it up and pack it down. We don’t have bunks tho just a asphalt pad.

[@mcleodfarmer5208]

Can't you see they're running it through a roller mill before packing

[@mikeymartin4751]

This bunker looks like it will hold 1.25-1.50m bushels. Mine holds 825k 150'x400' oval. What i don't get with all those hopper bottoms instead of all those loaders you could have bought a Lamar 2500 convyer.

[@carmiethompson2676]

That's the most inefficient unloading procedure I've ever seen. Those trucks needed to unload into a hopper that feeds a belt to the piling tractors. I know it takes money to buy a hopper w/ on/off ramps. OK, but it's a ground level storage operation & look at all the equipment($...plus operators) you need to clean up after the truck pulls out. What have you been doing all spring/summer? Look at the time/fuel that's wasted by the truck drivers. They could be getting another load. Working on the cheap is more expensive in the end.

High moisture corn for TMR rations. They crack corn and the pack into the pit.

Huge! Probably 3 acres. Ethanol plant to the side and behind the old storage pile... and right next to a huge cattle feedlot operation. Probably feeding a lot of brewers mash there. www.google.com/maps/@39.7877621,-97.8201443,992m/data=!3m1!1e3

Cracking aids in digestion for cattle. This is a feedlot most likely and fed in a ration.
