Calculate grain storage cost, storage capacity, bushels stored, marketable bushels, drying shrink, handling loss, storage charges, grain value, net value, and storage profit. Use this grain storage calculator for corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, barley, sorghum, rice, and other stored grain.
Storage cost:
The calculator adds monthly storage cost, handling cost, drying cost, insurance, aeration, maintenance, and interest cost.
Marketable bushels:
Stored bushels are reduced by shrink, handling loss, and moisture shrink to estimate saleable bushels.
Net grain value:
Marketable bushels are multiplied by expected sale price, then total storage costs are subtracted.
Storage profit:
The calculator compares net sale value with the harvest value of the grain.
A grain storage calculator helps decide whether storing grain may be worth the cost compared with selling at harvest.
It can help compare harvest price, sale price, storage months, storage cost, drying cost, shrink, handling loss, interest, capacity use, net grain value, and storage return.
Your result shows estimated marketable bushels, storage cost, cost per bushel, harvest value, gross sale value, net grain value, storage profit, price gain, required break-even sale price, capacity used, grain weight, and return per bushel. These are estimates based on the values you enter.
Multiply bushels stored by the monthly storage cost and storage months, then add handling, drying, insurance, aeration, maintenance, and interest cost.
Estimate sale value after shrink and losses, subtract storage costs, then compare the result with the harvest value of the grain.
Marketable grain is the estimated amount available to sell after shrink, moisture adjustment, dockage, and handling loss.
Grain stored instead of sold ties up money. Interest or opportunity cost estimates the cost of holding that grain value over time.
