6: Improving harvest efficiency
You have only a few choices when it comes to improving harvest efficiency: Add more combines or trucks to the harvest crew. All are costly and still require a person to operate the machinery.
The farmers of Australia faced these same issues about a decade before we did in North America, and they came up with an ingenious idea.
In-field portable storage that allows the grain cart or combine to empty into it. At the same time, a truck can load on the other side, letting the combine run continuously.
This movable system is called a Walkabout Mother Bin and is made here in the U.S.
The Walkabout Mother Bin offers either 4,000- or 6,000-bushel portable, towable storage that can be placed on the edge of the field or the side of the road. It’s a cost-effective means to drastically improve your harvest efficiency.
