Grain storage is one of the most important long-term investments on a farm or in a commercial grain operation. But the value of that investment depends entirely on how well it’s maintained. Well-kept bins protect grain quality, prevent costly downtime, reduce safety risks, and give farmers the flexibility to sell when markets are right. Poorly maintained bins do the opposite. They leak value every single day.

Train derailments rarely make the news unless they’re severe, but they happen far more often than most people think. Many happen at slow speeds inside rail yards and cause limited damage. Others occur on mainline tracks, where higher speeds and heavier loads can turn an incident into a major event.
