Maximizing Efficiency with Sukup at Iowa Ag Expo
Mar 6, 2025
Ryan Eilertson, a Territory Manager at Sukup Manufacturing, joined The Big Show and shared insights into Sukup’s innovations in grain drying and storage solutions.
Mix-Flow Dryer with Heat Recovery
Ryan emphasized the benefits of Sukup’s Mix-Flow Dryer, a game-changer for efficiency. Featuring vacuum cooling and heat recovery systems, this dryer can reduce operating costs while improving grain quality. It also addresses the challenge of bee wings during drying, using an aspirator system to collect and reuse them
REAP Grants for Dryer Efficiency
Farmers can leverage REAP grants to help fund dryer upgrades, especially if they’re replacing older, inefficient systems with more energy-efficient dryers like Sukup’s.
Grain Storage: Control Your Own Destiny
With rising grain prices, farmers are increasingly looking to store grain on-site to capitalize on peak market prices. Ryan shared how on-farm storage allows farmers to choose the best buyers and markets, potentially improving profitability.
Efficient Receiving Systems
Farmers are also upgrading receiving systems to keep up with faster harvests. Sukup offers solutions capable of handling up to 60,000 bushels per hour, ensuring that farmers don’t fall behind during busy harvest seasons.
On-Farm Storage Potential
Ryan mentioned how many farmers lack sufficient storage for their grain. This presents a huge opportunity for Sukup to expand its market, helping farmers store more grain and gain control over their harvest.
