Innovative Grain Monitoring & Efficient Handling: Sukup at Iowa Ag Expo
Mar 6, 2025
As Day 2 of the Iowa Ag Expo wrapped up, Randy Marks joined The Big Show, where he highlighted cutting-edge grain monitoring technology and efficient handling solutions from Sukup.
CO2 Monitoring for Early Detection
Sukup is integrating CO2 sensors in grain bins, allowing farmers to detect insect activity before grain quality declines. Working alongside temperature cables, this system helps pinpoint potential issues early, preventing spoilage and grain loss.
Paddle Sweeps & Labor-Saving Solutions
The paddle sweep system remains a top attraction, providing a safe and efficient way to empty grain bins while reducing labor costs. With farm labor shortages, this innovation minimizes the need for manual grain bin entry, enhancing both safety and efficiency.
Efficient Mix-Flow Dryers
Sukup’s mix-flow dryer with vacuum cooling stands out for its energy efficiency and grain quality preservation. Farmers may also qualify for REAP grants to offset upgrade costs by improving efficiency and transitioning to electric-powered systems.
Complete Grain Handling Solutions
From receiving pits and bucket elevators to unloading equipment, Sukup offers a comprehensive lineup to streamline farm operations.
Sukup continues to lead in smart, safe, and efficient grain storage and handling.
