I'm with you on doing the math. I think the elevators really blew it on emptying the elevators this year. They really hate it when new crop comes in and the old is still going out. They've been sending old corn to feedlots in SW Kansas and back hauling wheat to same elevator.. Doesn't seem like they are gaining much on space, except they rail the wheat out.

The elevator in Minneola, KS is gabbing wheat in those big silage bags...gonna be fun when they decide to haul it out!
-
I would say fun to haul out. I never knew they stored wheat in those bags. I would think either use auger or front end loader to load.

Some elevators really blew it on having enough space for wheat up here in the pierre south dakota area, there were hauling corn out which hindered us bringing corn atleast added 20 to 30 minutes on the time I was there and one elevator brought sunflowers in and sent them out the next day I give them a D on the grade
