We were saddened to hear of the passing of Tim Turner.

Tim was much more than our metal salesman for many years—he was a friend. Whether he was stopping by the office to check in, talk sports, or simply catch up, he was always someone we enjoyed seeing.

Tim faced his ALS diagnosis with incredible strength and will be remembered for his kindness, his love for his family, and his passion for baseball and the outdoors.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Robin, Beau, Bryce, and the entire Turner family.

We will miss seeing you walk through our doors, Tim. Rest easy, friend. ❤️

Here’s a great article from Chief Agri on protecting grain quality during the warmer months. Well worth the read for anyone storing grain this summer.

As temperatures start to rise, grain storage management becomes even more important.

One topic I've been discussing with customers recently is summer grain storage and the importance of keeping grain cool and dry. A few simple steps—such as monitoring grain temperatures, operating aeration fans during cool mornings, and checking grain condition regularly—can go a long way toward protecting grain quality and preserving storage life.

I've seen operations maintain grain quality longer by staying proactive with aeration and monitoring throughout the summer months. Taking the time to manage stored grain now can help avoid bigger challenges later.

If you're storing grain into the summer, I encourage you to take a few minutes to read this NDSU Extension article. It offers practical recommendations on aeration, moisture management, and grain monitoring that can help protect grain quality during the warmer months.
