Abstract

This is a report on the influence of elevator size, volume, and sidelines on the cost of operating local elevators in the Spring Wheat Belt. Unavailable storage capacity near production areas has created a problem of storing grain carried over from season to season. The cost of supplying sufficient storage capacity for the grain and ways to reduce this cost is important to the grain trade, farmers, and the U. S. Government. New elevator facilities represent a large outlay of money on which returns are normally spread over a long period of time. The fixed outlay associated with construction of elevator facilities generally remains constant regardless of the grain volume handled or stored. This study can help management evaluate its own particular situation in its decision to build for the future.
