Besides our pig and chicken production, we highlight our cultivation of plants and on delivering seed corn of the best quality. First we planned to buy 2 silos with stirring systems, suited for 1,000 tons each, because the existing drying process was not up-to-date. These 2 silos quickly ended up being 4 silos instead, as we realised we needed more capacity and our neighbour, the local machine pool, wanted to rent one silo.

The most important difference from the old outdated system to our new plant: we spend much less time to bring in the grain – and also to take it out again. Thanks to the stirring system it is no problem for us to mix humid grain with dry grain, which saves us time and ensures the best quality. One day, when we need further capacity, we will simply take the forth silo into use.
