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.

· A V-Rib roof offering superior protection against harsh weather with a design that includes a stair-step rib and corrugated panels, made from high-grade steel for added durability.
· A 10K side draw with a ladder and platform to facilitate efficient grain retrieval from the side of the bin, streamlining the handling process and improving accessibility.
· A-Series roof stairs with peak walkaround that provides safe and easy access to the roof for maintenance and inspections.
· C-Series spiral stairs and eave walkaround that enhances safety and accessibility with convenient access points for routine maintenance.
As attendees walk through the All-American Farm, they can visit each of the company’s seven divisions — Chief Buildings, Chief Agri, Chief Ethanol, Chief Fabrication, Chief Carriers, Chief Construction and BonnaVilla. They can visit each to pick up a different farm squeeze figure and collect a complete set — a memorable way to engage with the Chief team and learn about the full spectrum of their offerings. Each Chief division embodies a different facet of the American farming dream, from grain storage solutions to resilient metal buildings and custom homes.
Every year, BonnaVilla, Chief Industries’ homebuilding division, brings a fresh perspective to homebuilding with a new model that showcases innovative features. This year’s BonnaVilla home is a must see for showgoers as it blends tradition with contemporary design, offering a glimpse of a custom-designed manufactured home.
Chief Industries will conduct live interviews with each company division to provide an in-depth look into their diverse offerings and unique stories. Interviews will be held Wednesday, September 11, in the Chief Building on Lot 846. The interviews will provide special announcements and valuable insights directly from industry leaders. Additionally, Laura Farms will share her experiences and stories that resonate with farmers everywhere.
At the heart of Chief Industries’ All-American Farm display is a vision that blends tradition with innovation. From the 140,832-bushel grain bin, designed for enhanced weather resistance, to the 60-by-80-foot metal building that symbolizes strength and future potential, every element of the All-American Farm is crafted to support the longevity and success of farming operations.
