In the Southeastern United States, Mike Duke from Stockdale Farms explains that having on-farm grain storage allows him to get the crop out of the field in a timely manner.  Long lines at the elevators can be avoided.  There is little pricing advantage to be gained from having storage.  Storage does allow farmers to separate the crop according to condition and to seek appropriate markets for the grain.  Funded by the Alabama Wheat and Feed Grain Check-off program.
