Seedargrain driers offer reliable return on investment

Below is a short piece of editorial for an upcoming LAMMA preview in the Farmers Guide. In this current period of healthy grain prices I believe careful thought must be given to the economic performance of an investment in grain drying capacity over its entire operational life. The length of a driers operational life has the most significant impact upon its return on investment.

Many factors will affect the price of wheat over the coming months. The unpredictable affects of weather on global crop production and quality impact upon global supply and demand balances. These then influence government decisions on trade interventions, the primary cause of the recent upturn in the grain market.

Control of grain and oilseed prices is beyond the power of the individual farm or cooperative. However, adding the maximum value to your crop before sale is possible through on-farm grain drying. Seedarbelieves that now is the ideal time to consider investment in on-farm grain drying capacity.

Investing during this current period of healthy grain prices will ensure the ability to add value to your crop for many years to come. On-farm grain drying capacity can offer increased returns regardless of uncontrollable global market forces. Grain drying provides a reliable return on investment that the farmer can depend upon. While also giving control and flexibility during harvest and in the post-harvest marketing period.

The key to maximising return on investment for grain drying equipment is the machines operational design life. Seedargrain driers have many engineering features that ensure durability and long-term performance including, extensive structural galvanising, reinforced auger flights and industrially specified wearing parts.

All these elements ensure an extended service life. When investing in mobile grain driers, the longer the machines operational life the greater the return on the investment. As in most situations initial short-term cost savings do not provide medium to long term financial benefits.
