Sukup Manufacturing Co. posted three photos with the comment:
Earlier this month we celebrated the official ribbon cutting for the world's largest grain bin, located at Golden Grain Energy, LLC in Mason City, Iowa.
Before the 2.2 million bushel bin starts getting filled, the Filmore Central high school choir performed in the empty bin!

Golden Grain Energy shared

The Farmer's Life shared
If we planted the whole farm to corn every year and averaged 200 bushels an acre we could fill this bin in about 5 years. Perspective for how much grain that bin holds.
Chad Gates: So roughly speaking your total acreage is 2200 Acres

I saved a current image so that later I can see how the new bin compares to the existing bins.
