grain bins

Cylindrical farm structures

Grain bins are large cylindrical structures, typically made of corrugated metal, used to store harvested grain on farms or at commercial facilities.

They keep corn, wheat, soybeans, and other crops dry and protected until sale or use.

Grain bins pose suffocation hazards—workers can become trapped when grain shifts beneath them.

The new grain bins hold thirty thousand bushels each.
