Grain Storage Decision Toolkit
Know what it costs to store a bushel — before you build the bin or hold the grain.
Bin Sizing Planner
Enter your acres, yields, and how much you want to store on-farm. Shows the total capacity you need, the gap beyond your existing bins, and roughly how many bins of a given size fill it.
Bin Purchase Decision
Build cost — steel, concrete, fans, wiring, augers, site prep — plus financing, annual operating costs, and the savings you expect from storing on-farm. Shows payback, ROI, and all-in cost per bushel.
Drying Cost Calculator
What it costs to dry your grain: moisture shrink, LP/fuel, and electricity. Compares your on-farm cost with the elevator's drying charge and shrink, with shrink counted on both sides.
Rent vs Buy vs Commercial
Compares building your own, renting space, and paying the elevator — side by side per bushel, on the same time basis — and names the lowest-cost option at the figures you enter.
Multi-Year Cash Flow
Year-by-year over 15 years: loan paydown, annual savings, cumulative cash flow after the down payment, and the year it turns positive. Useful when you're talking to your lender.
Store or Sell
Compares selling at harvest with storing and selling later. Build the later price from the futures carry and your basis, or type your own, then set it against interest, drying, shrink, and trucking. Shows the net gain or loss from storing at the prices you enter, the break-even later price, and a table across later prices.
Sell or Feed
For livestock-and-grain operations. Compares what you'd net selling your raised grain against what buying equivalent feed would cost, and shows which comes out ahead at your figures.
Bin Inventory & Condition Log
Log loads in and out of each bin with moisture and temperature checks. Balance and % full update as you log.
