About Us
I am a graduate of LSU (1978) with a B.S. in Agricultural Mechanization from Arnaudville and a former small farm owner in St. Martin Parish. Starting in 2008, I developed a product called "Mobile Harvest Bins for Rent" because of needs that I had for our small farm. My first focus was storing and aerating soybeans without the capital expense for fixed storage bins but as the product evolved, seed, organic and specialty crops became targets. I have probably overlooked other possible uses. The product is a business for RENTING modified 20 foot dry intermodal containers to store, aerate and CLF grain / seed / produce in 860- 900 bushel quantities and for getting that payload to buyers. I believe that this product could be useful for small or beginning farmers and farmers with; initial / morning / night high moisture crops, disjointed fields, multiple crops, or that have to segregate varieties and lots of seed, without having to invest in fixed grain bins, being dependent on hopper-trailer availability, and having elevator moisture content restrictions to get their crops harvested. The Rental Process: -Dealership delivers empty container(s) to specified field turnrow or central area -Farmer fills those container(s) using combines and grain carts -Farmer can rent container aeration / CLF equipment and monitoring services -Farmer calls dealership for a loaded-container mobile-lift and tractor-trailer unit(s) when he is ready to sell load(s) -Dealership lifts loaded container(s) onto its tractor-trailer unit(s) and delivers the load(s) -Dealership dismounts the empty container(s), cleans and parks them for future customers Advantages of this process are: -Allows the farmer to rapidly harvest all or some of his crops without the haul-off bottleneck -Aeration option helps beat bad weather and moisture delivery restrictions -Minimizes the farmer's capital investment in permanent grain storage facilities and supporting equipment -Eliminates dependency on high demand tractor-grain trailers at harvest time -Eliminates delivery waiting time at the elevator during harvest time -Allows for more marketing options -Less secondary unloading and loading operations thus saving equipment, fuel and labor expenses -Because there are less secondary operations, there is less crop damage -The farmer can rent containers for multiple crops and multiple lots and varieties -The farmer can RENT; as many, whenever, wherever and as long as he needs containers
