Calculation depends on the type of grain and if you are using a round or rectangular bin. See related links for various options for making the calculations. This formula should give you a good estimate for converting bushels to bins: Bushels in the bin = 0.8036 (length) (width) (average depth of grain)
In newer models, they range from 6,000 bushels (2,200 m3) to 730,000 bushels (24,250 m3). As our population increases as will the demand for grain. In 10 years, with sprouting technology, the minimum might be 24,250 m3.

You could spend your entire life going from grain elevator to grain elevator trying to scrounge up 10,000 bushels here and 5,000 bushels there...or you can call American Grain, tell them you need as much wheat as you do, and let them find it for you.
The biggest bin can be split into a number of things. Amount of storage , height and diameter. As far as I know, there is one bin that wins two of the categories. It's a bin made by a company called Brock. It's 156 ft in diameter (across), 70 ft high at the peak and can hold op to 1.34 million bushel of grain. Another Brock bin that's only 132 ft across can be built as tall as 98 feet.
