Increased farm production may actually mean decreased farm income for you
if you don’t have adequate storage facilities. Government figures show that
70 to 95% of various grain crops are first stored on the farm before moving
to marketing channels. Safe, adequate storage facilities lets YOU set the
market price. You don’t have to sacrifice your crop because you don’t have
adequate storage facilities.
Soon Pays For Itself!
The higher prices you get for your crop when it is properly stored will soon
pay for your investment in - SIOUX - Steel Storage Bins. Stop worrying
every year about changing market conditions, freight car shortages, and lack
of elevator space. Get fire-proof, rodent-proof, easily-erected - SIOUX
STEEL BINS. New wider doorway permits easier entrance: easier filling;
easier conversion to utility building when empty. Two doors assures tight
closing and locking: avoids sagging. Only - SIOUX - construction includes
sturdy six-ply 1 ribs every 22 W' of height, shoveling or sacking hopper or
both, sturdy corrugated walls, extra large ventilator, and water-tight roof that
will support man’s weight.
