grain bin

Farm storage cylinder

A grain bin is a large cylindrical storage structure, typically metal, used on farms to hold harvested grain like corn, wheat, or soybeans.

Grain bins keep crops dry and protected until sale or use.

They range from small farm-scale structures to massive commercial silos.

Safety concerns include grain entrapment—workers can become buried in shifting grain.
