Every finished project has a story behind it, and this is one worth sharing.

At Sweet Material Handling, we're proud to support our teammates at Behlen Grain Systems and celebrate projects like this that showcase the strength of our combined team.

EBM Construction recently completed the installation of a new Behlen 78' x 20-ring grain bin for Farmer Co-op in Pilger, Nebraska. With a storage capacity of 301,858 bushels, this impressive addition is ready to serve the co-op for years to come.

One of the coolest parts of this project? The new Behlen bin was added to a site primarily composed of bins from another manufacturer. That speaks volumes about the confidence Farmer Co-op placed in EBM Construction and Behlen Grain Systems for this expansion, and we couldn't be happier to celebrate that success.

Projects like this don't happen without strong partnerships, hard work, and a shared commitment to our customers. Congratulations to the EBM team on another quality installation, and thank you to Farmer Co-op for trusting the Behlen team to be part of your operation.

We love seeing projects like this come to life and look forward to celebrating many more together.

Another successful project in the books!

We’re excited to share this new Behlen Stiffened Bin that Frey Construction installed in Charlotte, Michigan.

This 18 x 20 meter outside stiffened bin offers reliable grain storage for today’s farming needs. It’s built to last, giving producers the strength and durability they count on to protect what matters most.

A big thank you to Alan for allowing us to share photos of his operation. We're glad to hear he's pleased with his new Behlen bin!

Another Sweet Material Handling system is going up in the field.

This installation for Simmons Grain in Salem, Ohio, features a Sweet King 1 elevator with a 130’ discharge height handling 5,500 BPH of soybeans. The system is fed by a conveyor with a dump hopper and a 30° curve, helping to support efficient grain handling operations from receiving to storage.

This project was sold through K & S Millwrights, and we’re proud to continue supporting long-time Sweet customers with dependable equipment built to perform.

Thank you to everyone involved in the project. We look forward to seeing the completed installation in operation.
