The grain harvest is almost finished here in southwest Minnesota.  Other areas of the state have more work to do.  Not so much here.  Last Saturday I spent some time outdoors with my hunting dogs.  What a beautiful autumn day!  However, we could use some rain!! Remaining Harvest Inventory In the fading sunset light I snapped a few […]

We have received the “winter” sales program from Hutchinson-Mayrath!  This week we’re sending new catalogs to all our dealers.  Right now is an excellent time to purchase grain handling equipment for future use. Lead times are excellent!  Please contact your nearest dealer to get the best possible price on a new portable auger, portable grain […]

Let’s all have a prosperous harvest.  And why not make it safe, too? It’s unfortunate that we occasionally hear about accidents and injuries occurring around farm equipment in the fall.  And often it’s preventable. How to have a Safe Harvest Take a few hours today.  Inspect your combine, tractors, grain carts, wagons, and trucks.  Look for […]

We’re experiencing an early arrival of the “fall rush.”  Lately we’ve had quite a few inquiries, orders, and shipments for new bin floors and unload systems.  As usual, the Sukup Hawk Cut Floors and Sweepways are the most popular.  We’ve had similar interest in Hutchinson portable augers and double run grain pumps. New grain bins […]

I just returned Friday evening from a week in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area.  I was wilderness camping with my family plus assorted youth from our church.  We sent in two separate camps on the trip…a total of 14 people!  We had a substantial amount of rain (three inches in one night!) but everyone survived.  Hats […]

Here we are in mid July already.  Hard to believe. If you need new equipment, or even repairs to your existing grain equipment, there is still time!  MOST products from our major suppliers, Sukup Mfg. and Hutchinson, are available in 4 to 6 weeks, and sometimes even quicker.  Don’t be shy.  Please contact your local […]

Yes it’s hot here in Minnesota.  The forecast for this week is for high temperatures in the upper 90’s every day.  Other people have it worse, though.  In Colorado they’re fighting fires in the heat, and losing some of the battles.  In the DC area they are dealing with power outages after weekend storms took […]

I’ve heard a lot of unfortunate stories this week related to the recent high winds.  We are all hopeful that the crop damage was minimal, but only time will tell.  Thursday morning our local airport was reporting gusts up to 45 MPH, and I’m pretty sure it gusted even higher at times.  That’s troubling coming […]

Please stop in to see our 5000 sq. ft. addition!  We extended our building, on the south end, to make more indoor storage for grain bins and other bulky items. Right now we are extensively reorganizing our indoor facility: The shop area is now EMPTY.  We moved the pallet racks out of the shop, which […]
