Kearney, NE — Chief Industries will showcase an expansive All-American Farm display in Lot 846 — Southwest Quadrant at Husker Harvest Days from September 10-12 in Grand Island, Nebraska. The company will offer farmers and agricultural enthusiasts an opportunity to learn about the latest company and industry advancements while celebrating the traditions that define American farming.

“Our commitment to the agricultural community is unwavering,” said Beth Frerichs, director of marketing and communications at Chief Industries. “We’re not just showcasing products; we’re building partnerships that will last for generations.”

Chief Industries’ grain commodity storage, aeration and material handling division, Chief Agri, will have plenty to see at the site. The company’s expansive display features a 140,832-bushel grain bin with a 61-foot, 10-inch diameter and the innovative V-Rib roof. The bin is engineered for enhanced structural integrity, improved weather resistance and increased wind resilience. Alongside the bin, attendees will find Chef Agri’s advanced handling equipment designed with precision and durability in mind. Specialists will be on hand to discuss attendees’ unique farming needs and show how Chief Agri helps elevate farming operations.

The CBLS 20-14 bin offers a wide range of features, including:

· A CB20 structured roof and 30,000-pound peak load capacity.

· Large, 72-inch Peak Ring ideal for landing equipment such as catwalks and conveyors.

· Temperature cables that support up to 30 rings of grain depth and a 106-foot eave height.

· G115 steel utilized on sidewall, stiffeners and roof panels for enhanced durability.

· A stiffener lap splice that enhances structural strength by effectively connecting stiffener plates, reinforcing the sidewall and boosting the bin’s load-bearing capacity.
