Grain storage getting tight as harvest progresses

October 21, 1999 By admin

Grain storage space is growing more scarce across rural Iowa as harvestseason proceeds. Adam Suntken (SUNG-kin) of the A-G-P Grain Co-op in Klemme(CLEM-ee) says they’ve had to build a huge bunker outside the elevator tosort and store thousands of bushels of corn and soybeans.Suntken says they’ll cover the bunker to keep the many bushels of harvestedcrops out of the elements.He says even with the large harvest, many farmers will be keeping theirgrain away from the elevators until prices go up.Suntken says there’s only been limited trouble getting rail cars totransport the grain — something that’d been a much larger problem in recentyears.
