Every project tells a story, and this one is a great example of what strong partnerships can accomplish.

EBM Construction recently completed the installation of a new Behlen 78' x 20-ring grain bin for Farmer Co-op in Pilger, Nebraska. With a storage capacity of 301,858 bushels, this new bin is ready to support the co-op for years to come.

One of the coolest parts of this project? This Behlen bin was added to a site made up primarily of another manufacturer's bins. That says a lot about the confidence Farmer Co-op placed in EBM Construction and Behlen Grain Systems for this expansion, and we couldn't be more appreciative.

A big thank you to the team at EBM for another quality installation and to Farmer Co-op for trusting Behlen to be part of their operation. We love seeing projects like this come to life, and we can't wait to see what's next!

We're proud to see another impressive Behlen Grain Systems project taking shape!

A big shout-out to our valued dealer partner, J & D Construction Inc., for their outstanding work on this installation in Park River, North Dakota. Strong partnerships like this are what help deliver reliable grain storage solutions to customers across the country.

This impressive Behlen Grain Systems bin measures 131 feet in diameter by 24 rings tall and will provide an incredible 1,043,290 bushels of storage capacity.

Thank you, J&D Construction, for your continued partnership and dedication to quality. We can't wait to see the finished project!

We're honored to serve the farmers, families, and agricultural businesses whose commitment, resilience, and determination continue to move America forward. Thank you for trusting us to be a small part of your operation and your legacy.

A big thank you to Alan for allowing us to share photos of his operation. We're glad to hear he's pleased with his new Behlen bin!

From the farms across rural America to the families and workers dedicated to agriculture, we are thankful for those who served and protected the freedoms we hold dear.

Bigger isn’t always better when it comes to bucket elevators.

Capacity isn’t just about building the biggest system possible; it comes down to choosing the right combination of:
• Bucket size
• Belt speed
• Pulley diameter

When those components are properly matched, you get better efficiency, smoother material handling, reduced wear, and more reliable long-term performance.

The goal isn’t maximum capacity.
It’s the right capacity for your operation, your material, and your facility needs.

That’s where engineered solutions make the difference.
