Enhance your return on investment with a Grain Bin Monitoring System

Enhance your return on investment with a Grain Bin Monitoring System from Summit Contracting.

No two grain bins are alike, even if they hold the same crop or are of the same size. That’s why Summit Contracting offers advanced grain monitoring systems to safeguard your investment 24/7, regardless of the crop or bushels you’re storing. These systems help farmers gain critical insights into the state of their grain, facilitating more profitable selling strategies. 

The core purpose of grain bin monitoring systems is to add value to the stored crop by providing a comprehensive 3D view of the bin's contents, allowing farmers to make well-informed decisions.  These systems not only safeguard the stored crop but also have the capability to rehydrate it, increasing its water weight and overall value. The ability to store and monitor grain conditions throughout the year enables farmers to market their grain at the optimal time for their operation.

Offering real-time data on moisture and temperature, the bin monitoring software is easily accessible through smartphones, tablets, or computers. This helps farmers track the moisture content and temperature, and where they can analyze the condition of the grain inside that bin from any device, anywhere, all year long.

Concerns about technological expertise can sometimes deter farmers from adopting grain bin monitoring systems. However, these systems are user-friendly. With systems that automate themselves the farmer has less work to do compared to when running the fans manually. The ease of use and automation provided by these systems empower even the less tech-savvy farmers to benefit from the latest agricultural innovations.

A grain monitoring system uses sensor cables, weather stations, plenum sensors, and control boxes to optimally control fan operations to maintain ideal crop conditions. This technology frees farmers from manual monitoring, allowing them to focus on other tasks without compromising grain quality.

One of the critical safety advantages of a grain bin monitoring system is that it eliminates the need for anyone to enter the bin. When you have a grain monitoring system on your grain bin, nobody needs to enter the bin. This is crucial for the safety of the farmer and employees. This feature alone significantly reduces the risk associated with traditional grain storage practices, where entering the bin can be dangerous.

Grain monitoring systems offered by Summit Contracting are transforming the way farmers manage and safeguard their stored grains. They provide a comprehensive solution for the quality, convenience, and efficiency of storing your crops, all while prioritizing the safety and well-being of farmers. Investing in a grain bin monitoring system is a pivotal step for farmers. As you look forward to the year ahead, consider a grain bin monitoring system to elevate your crop's value and ensure the legacy of your farms for generations to come.
