- Holy cow, there's a lot going on here!
Hey, it's me Destin, welcome back to Smarter Everyday.
When you eat today, that's food going to get to your plate
from field like this, and before it gets in that field,
it's going to pass through the hand
and the wallet of a farmer, like this.
I say wallet, because he has to use something,
more than likely, called a grain bin.
Today on Smarter Everyday, we're going to talk about
the science, the engineering, the economics,
everything that goes into using a grain bin
to get food from the field to your plate.
Trey, is it a really good thing to have a grain bin?
- It is.
- Why?
- Oh, for logistics, and economics' sake.
It buys you time getting the grain out of the field,
and hopefully as the winter goes on,
the bases improves, and you can get
a higher price for you grain.
- Today on Smarter Everyday, we're going to talk
about all that, by building a grain bin,
and then figuring out how they use these things.
Let's go get smarter everyday.
(guitar riff)
These things are everywhere.
I've always called them silos, but that's not exactly right.
Now, it's true, these tall skinny ones are silos.
They sometimes contain a special type of feed called
silage for animals, but these short,
fat ones, those aren't silos.
Those are called grain bins, and I've been on a quest
to see if I can everything I can know about them.
My farmer buddy Trey is also an engineer,
who went to Arburn University.
We like to talk about mechanical problems
he has to solve out on the farm.
When he told me he was pouring a huge
concrete pad for a grain bin,
that he was going to buy, I was intrigued.
The foundation for this thing was 52 yards of concrete,
heavily reinforced with steel rebar.
And the more I thought about the forces
this thing has to put up with,
like wind blowing on the side of a huge structure,
literally tons of grain on the inside,
the scale of this concrete pad started
to make more and more sense.
Trey explained that these things are sold
as a kit, kits that are engineered
to be assembled on site, by an expert crew.
If you had a crew of only three
people but no crane or tall ladder,
how would you build this thing?
It's over 30 feet tall, and weighs several tons.
The more I thought about this,
the more I realized that there had to be a simple,
clever technique that I just didn't know about.
So, I decided to try to work myself on to one of these crews
to see what I could learn over several days.
So, what do you call that tool?
- Punch.
- [Destin] Yeah, just using a punch for alignment?
- Yeah.
- [Destin] What's your name man?
- I'm Danny.
- Danny, I'm Destin man, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- [Destin] And what was your name?
- Nicholas.
- [Destin] Nicholas, nice to meet you, dude.
- Pleasure.
- [Destin] Do you guys all over the place doing this?
- That's all we do, yeah.
- [Destin] Really?
