The increase in grain production in the past 10 years has created challenges for elevator operators trying to increase the amount of grain handled and stored without jeopardizing grain quality.  This challenge is further compounded by an increase in the number of retiring operators that “just knew” how to run the elevator.  Technology and automation can help address these challenges, but how? What are the possibilities? Whether you have an outdated or newer facility, we’ll explore the levels of automation and technology that can be used to increase your returns.
