I tailgated 300 trucks today at a Bunge plant in Cairo, Illinois. Interesting to see how the other plants are set up. The plant I work at has 3 and 1/4 million bushel storage capacity in 4 steel tanks not counting the 10 bins on site. Great video.

@harshmello78 ...thanks for viewing! Bunge processes a tremendous amount of beans. We are lucky to have a plant close to us.

wouldn't a frame type trailer work better

@bigrig587 ...we used to use a steel framed trailor but with the aluminum frameless we can net more weight.

That was a great video! Wish we could dump beans that fast up here! When you were being loaded with lime, did you have to fold in your tarp hoops or does it not matter?



[ohiofarmer27]

@Farmerknowsbest ...Thanks for viewing. There are three dump pits at the processor for unloading three semis at once. When we load grain, stone or lime the tarp rolls back and the hoops stay put. Loading the material does not hurt the hoops. Sometimes the loader operator flattens them a bit! The trailor is a 38' Truestar frameless aluminum weighing in at 10,500 pounds.
